No. Each couple has their specific hourglass tree, then I have a folder 
labelled "trees" which is where I keep all the big trees.

Depends how you define "unrelated". For my own family, spouses of sibs and 
parents and sibs of in-laws go into FTM. Completely unrelated people don't. 
For my OPS, everyone goes into FTM (which is why I'm still using ver 2005 as 
it still has the "everyone in the database" type of tree).

Don't have any, but if I did, they'd go into the folder labelled "trees".

There's also a folder labelled "misc" for unrelated, possibly famly stuff. 
It gets cleared periodically.
