Not quite - only VST's work that way. DXi's have to be installed by an
appropriate program because they need registry entries made in order to be
recognised.

Yep - but what you can also do is use subdirectories under there if you want
to keep things seperate - a simple example being keeping instruments and
effects in two seperate directories.

That's only for VSTs. As I said, DX's are only recognised if properly
installed ;)
