default directory locations



This is a ridiculously simple question, but my searches are not turning up what I'm looking for.

Where are the default folders the system puts in your home directory defined at? I don't mean the dot rc files, but Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Templates, etc.

I don't need most of them so I deleted them except for Download and Desktop. I do want them, but I also want to rename them. It seems most apps that allow you to download or save a file will automatically default to putting it in Downloads. So I don't want to go into the preferences of all my apps individually, is this set in the gnome, /etc/skel/, alternatives or somewhere else I could change it and have all apps know about the change? Thanks.
