okay, i haven't heard this one yet, but this is what i did to my hellfolder:

   drag everything from one of the valid folders to this hell folder and
   delete the old one instead.  now rename the hell folder to the old
   folder's name. 

now, i wouldn't replace the system folder with this hell folder, but for
something trivial such as preferences or print spool, the hell folder seems
perfect for the job.  i've had the "rehabiliated" hell folder for quit a
while now with no problems.  try it for yourself.
