I would like to change things up so that when I open my character library in P5, it shows [BEH] [P5] [Story] [Creatures] [Props] Rather than the collection of characters it shows now (I have a lot of BEH characters that I use)(and yes, I know that props is a seperate directory, but some props come as characters and some as props, so I'd like to put all the conforming clothes and stuff in a "stuff" directory). Is there a good way to do taht? Thanks.

The easiest way I've found is to go to the computer's file display (I didn't know if you were running PC or MAC), create new folders under the character folder with the names you do want. Move the files from their original folders to the new ones. Make sure you do NOT move or rename the geometry files! The name of the geometry folders has to match the CR2 exactly or your figure won't load.

Thanks. I'm using WinXP Pro and keep Explorer as an icon on my desktop for easy access and rearranging of directories. I just wasn't sure if I could move the character directories around. I won't mess with the geometry folders, but it seems that I can create new folders and move the other folders into them, so, for example, all of my BEH characters can be in a folder of their own. Thanks! I just didn't know if that would screw everything up or not.
