Erm....*I* know that. > How much ignorance on the part of the user can be excused when they don't know > the app they are using is part of a suite of applications? I'm not excusing anybody, I just want the users to have as much protection from their own stupidity as possible. > The app resides IN the Office 2004 app folder! Of course it does, but our users (like those of most others in corporate and educational settings) don't have to know or care about that - they launch their apps from the Dock. > Sorry...I don't think you have a valid argument there. That's fine, but I would bet you that if ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library was instead called iLife Library, you'd see more accidental deletions of people's photos, too, because some people wouldn't recognize the name of the suite. And yes, I know the other Office apps like to poke around the Office 2004 Identities folder, but it's still Entourage's files that are stored there.
