I figure it's safer to install a program where it wants to go.  When I used 
win95 exclusively I was pickier, and installed everything into its own 
subdirectory right off c:\, with the associated data files, pictures, docs, 
also right off c:\.  Now I only use it for a few things and just don't care as 
long as I can put the data files where I want them -- with SHORT pathnames.
