Huh? Do you mean that control panel documents put in your CP folder
don't run, or that they're messy, or something else? I've got lots of
CP's (formerly CDEVs :-)) in my CP folder and they all do the right
thing (except the ones that are toasted in 7.0, like Magic Menu :-().
I suppose you _could_ put an alias for the Extensions folder in your
Apple menu, but why bother when CP already exists?
