chrisjol, I think what you are saying is fine. I personally have no problem with special characters being used within the folder to organize, like you are saying. It is just in the folder name. What is ironic, is until I go on a renaming fest, I usually can't find any of those folders. with so many variations, there is no alphabetical sense if you don't know how many ! are first, so you end up have 20 some folders that are in sense out of order. We search by the alphabet, people. I just wish ALL the stores would institute a policy that wuoldn't allow this.
