Yes, but probably not in the way you're thinking with how I've explained things. You won't need to create folders for the items, just the one folder to put each figure and their items in.
So hopefully I can explain this right.
You have 5 zip files, all with content for a specific figure - clothing, hair, props and the like.
That's pretty much it. If it's a freebie item...it may not always be zipped in a way that will install nice. Sometimes there's an extra folder that then contains the runtime setup and other items (I'm guilty of this setup on most of my items...) If there is, cut just the Runtime folder and paste it outside of this extra folder in your figure's runtime. Then just delete the extra folder. Then you should be ready to play with your new stuff in Poser.
Any content you buy should have things setup the way they're supposed to, and you can just point the intaller or zip to your runtime folder for the appropriate figure. I install/unzip things to a PoserTemp folder on my harddrive because often there's extra junk (DAZ installers) that I don't want/need and I clean things up before transfering to it's final home. This is up to you...and you may want to just practice with a couple files and get the hang of things before doing all your content all at once.
I can do a screen shot of my external runtime setup when I get home if that would help, just to give you an idea on one way it can be done. I have mine over-organized probably, but I know where everything is (unless I forget and put a WIP in the wrong spot....but it's usually with the figure so it's not too hard to track down).
Crazy alien chick FTW! (yeah....right....)
