Graphically a bit like this We had this discussion a while ago, and the conclusion was that it was not a good idea. There is already a folder. We can see it as an operating system flaw that the INIT scanner does not search, for example, System Folder:INITs or something. It is very user-unfriendly to make two different kinds of folders, that are only a difference for the computer, and not for the user. This is only puzzling. -- -- Jurjen N.E.
