Program Files folder on Symbian?

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there's a way to install all applications inside a folder located in the root of the mass memory, say "E:\Program Files", rather than each app taking up its own folder in the root.

There would have to be a way for any installer to know that if I point to the mass memory during installation, this means that the app should be installed in E:\Program Files\AppName rather than in E:\AppName

Obviously, when you have lots of applications installed, this really clutters up the root folder, and other folders you might have there (e.g. "Documents", "Movies"😉 become a lot less visible. Thanks for any suggestions
