Just my 0.02 here... > The reason I restructured the "home" tree as follows: >=20 > /users/username/home > /users/username/libraries > /users/username/programs > /users/username/settings >=20 > /user =3D3D> /users/currentuser =46rom my point of view the /users/username/ portion should be hidden from the (avg.) user, so it doesn't really matter what you call it (although I agree with the dropping of the 3 letter naming convention). Joe Soap should just see an alias called "My Computer" aehmm.... "My screaming BeOS machine", which directs them straight to /home /libraries /programs, etc, each one preferably with a more verbose alias and a short description (status line?) (that can be turned off) in the file manager. Helmar
