I remember on my old DOS/Win3.11 machine, I imposed some order on things by only installing “minor” applications to C:\BIN, and larger programs to C:\APPS. Wanted as few top-level folders as possible. Took a bit of effort sometimes, but otherwise there’s total chaos.
I would always cringe whenever I noticed how other folks would have everything installed in the top-level folder, or sometimes in C:\WINDOWS or other random places.
If I were to do it over again today, I would do it differently: I’d install programs that are strictly for doing stuff TO the computer itself in C:\UTILS, and everything else in C:\APPS.
