Vista/7 just enforce using the folders for what they should be used for. --- End quote --- Keeping the same hacked up folder structure from versions of Windows over ten years old and creating hidden virtual directories that mess up all the programs designed for them is definitely what it's supposed to do! |

"Program Files" = where the program goes. "Application Data" = where the data goes. Good operating systems use this organization. Both Windows and Linux do. I can't speak for Mac because I hate the dang things and have never bothered inspecting the file system. |

The Application Data file is hidden for no explained reason which makes Add-Ons and such hard to install, the file writing protection breaks just about everything by having written files inaccessible to the program sometimes or files directly installed to C:/Program Files not working. It's two folders pretending to be one merged one and usually end up as one and a half, or perhaps none at all. (With a million extra broken shortcuts everywhere to folders that no longer exist like WinXP's Documents and Settings that don't work sometimes) Then there's the registry, just to slow everything down and put all your settings in more confused, bloated "backwards-compatible" storage. |
