Am I misunderstanding something or are you saying you dig into the program files every time you launch a program? I thought the OP was talking about programs not files and folder.

I don't install to program files typically, but yes. I navigate the tree and launch either my bat files or exe files directly. A program is just launched by a 'file' or executable in this case.

That sounds needlessly complex when you can create shortcuts, either on the start menu or desktop. Or another central location.
