Generic folder names were used so that all of Aladdin's products can share
similar resources (the Help files in this example, but the same is true of
the Optimizers and so on) and therefore save disk space and System Folder
landscape. Classic, Deluxe, Shortcut, Magic Menu, the QuicKeys 2
Extensions and the MicroPhone II XCMDs all take advantage of this.
You are welcome to move things around, but why waste disk space with
duplicate files just because you don't like the name of the folders?
