I was just wondering whether anyone else is as logically-minded as me and does this for their unattended installs. I have specified the relevant folder names in the winnt.sif file and thus producing this structure:

C:
|
\--> Applications
|
\--> Users
|
\--> System

I absolutely hate allowing M$ to brand my PC by putting the OS in a folder names "Windows". I think this is actually the same structure that Mac OS X uses—correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Firstly, does anyone else use this or similar structures? Also, does anyone know how to stop Windows from having a capitilized folder name, i.e. SYSTEM instead of the much preferred System? I think it does this no matter what name you choose; I just wish it didn't. ;)

Hee, hee. I'm even more obsessive -

c:\

-Documents and Settings

-OPSYSTEM (My Windows Dir)

D:\

-Applications (My Program Files Dir)

-Archiving (Winzip etc)

-Audio (Winamp etc)

-Burning (Nero etc)

-Coding (My progging Apps)

-DVD (DVD Authoring Apps)

-Graphics (PSP, 3DS Max etc)

-Office (MS Office, Adobe Acrobat etc)

-Online (Torrent, FTP Clients etc)

-Reference (MSReader, Maple, Mathmatica etc)

-Video (Power DVD, MPClassic etc)

One of the reasons that I renamed Windows and Program Files Dir's was as a (pretty lame) attempt to short circuit some malware. A very few still install to the default locations - so they don't work and are easier to remove.
