[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 297056"] True, this. On forums you see plenty of posts about members in a panic saying their photos or their music has been deleted by mistake or that they can't find them anymore on their hard drive. Me thinks OS X knows much better than I what it is doing so if it wants to install something in the Applications folder (or anywhere else for that matter), that's fine by me. [IMG]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/mac_images/images/icons/icon7.gif[/IMG] And don't mess with the root level. Don't install any personal files or programs there. That space belongs to the system. Even though you can move things there (the system won't stop you from doing it) it's best to install all your personal stuff in your user account and leave the other directories and structure as is.
