Games seem to be most "guilty" of that behavior, placing files all over the place even when you choose other places to install them to.Yes...when you install some programs and just accept the default settings, output goes to a "hard-wired" location.
As everyone has a C: drive - that's it!
That's why, to me, it's so important to always do "custom" installations. OK for us here but the average user may not even understand the difference. Another reference to my comment about usability testing?
And @winactive.......Yup! After all,Quoteit might be neater to delete unused folders, but how much space do a few empty folders take up? Negligible and again, most users won't even know about them.
They will create a single major folder for all of its data under the client used, e.g Steamapps-Steam, and a properly named single folder for its saved files / profile settings under your documents folder. That's it. I have over 30 games installed and I don't see an excessive amount of files or folders scattered around on my drives by installing games. I have more issues with this behavior on standalone driver installations and utility programs.
