My comments that if you want to start in a new folder and create a MapInfo map you are all right, but my recent experience of making slight changes to a pre-existing map is a nightmare.
You start with the data file Dentists.xls and the Mapping boundary file (tab) Creating a single map sets up the following MapInfo files: Dentists.id Dentists.map Dentists.tab and Dentists.wor If the map is to be rerun because there is a mistake, correction or amendment, MapInfo doesn't delete .id, .map or .tab but incorporates the previous information on these files into the new run. Therefore the user has to delete these files before continuing. It would be more helpful if this was done automatically or it MapInfo asked the user what they wanted to be done. Similarly if any minor changes are to be done to a map a new folder has to be done to a map this must also be done in a new folder. I find MapInfo to use and I go back to GIMMS!
