Keep Apple apps folder separate
Authored by: jolinwarren on Sep 20, '02 01:21:56PM

I get very annoyed at Apple trying to force me to have a cluttered applications folder. What I do is create a "My Applications" and a "Utilities" folder in the root of my hard drives. In these folders, I put whatever I want, organised how I want. I then rename the "Applications" folder to be called "Apple Applications" and drop it into my "My Applications" folder. I do a similar thing with the "Utilities" folder inside "Apple Applications". Whenever I'm going to do a system update, all I have to do is to change the Utilities folder name back and drop it into "Apple Applications". Then I move "Apple Applications" into the root of my hard drive and rename it to "Applications". It actually sounds more complicated than it is, and I find it to be a good way to allow me my own organisation.
