Myosin-11
Myosin-11 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH11 gene. Function
Myosin-11 is a smooth muscle myosin belonging to the myosin heavy chain family.

Under what category should myosin come? Are myosin microfilaments or intermediate filaments? Or are they simply motor proteins? Under which category should I put them? I am highly confused.
Myosin are motor proteins. Microfilaments (AKA actin filaments) are the tracks for Myosin. Myosin walk along these filaments.
In myocytes (muscle cells), myosin pulls actin filaments towards one another.

What is the mechanism that directs myosin walking? Myosin, dynein and kinase all "walk" towards specific ends of the microtubule or actin filament they are on. I'm most familiar with the walking mechanism for myosin, ...
Most myosins move towards the plus end of actin, but myosin VI moves towards the minus end. And for your entertainment, an awesome movie of myosin V walking by Kodera et al, 2010 on YouTube.
