This doesn't seem to be the convention, at least on Windows. There are two directories: Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/ which contains data, and Program Files/ which contains executables. In all cases that I can see, the corresponding subdirectories have the same name: Adobe, Cisco Systems, Google, Skype and so on.
So I think we'll stick with the current naming. -- David On 24-Oct-2011 1:00 PM, Maureen Vilar wrote: ... > I did once ask in a Boinc Trac ticket whether it would ever be possible for > the two Boinc folders to have different names.
