I always thought that the idea of 'Virtual' folders, ie MFS-type folders on an
HFS disk was a good idea as an organizer.  You could place all your INITs in
a Virtual folder that visually unclutters the desktop display, but to the
system, these items look on the directory level the virtual folder is stored in.
 
Apple, does this not sound like an excellent idea?  My system folder currently
contains 106 files (26 inits) and assorted 'Preferences' files created by
applications....
