What?!? You're telling me that you LET programs install to their default directories?!?
Bad security vulnerability that, you know. That way, if someone finds a security flaw in a particular program, they can find that easily just by hopping down the folders tree to the default install zone. If the default install zone ain't there, problem solved. There's lots of vulns that use attacks like this (subscribe to bugtraq and you'll see).
I remapped my Program Files dir to a different partition, and never use the standard install anyway. It's always Program Files\Internet\Foo\foo.exe and suchlike for moi.
