INTRODUCTION

When you install a new program, that program's installation process sets up program folders and icons for itself. If you don't like the arrangement of the folders and icons, you can change it. For example, if more than one person uses your PC, you might set up folders for each person and then add the programs that a certain person uses to his or her folder.
