While "regular" users can create directories within the root directory, only 
a process with "elevated privileges" (ie: "run as administrator") can 
create/edit/delete files within the root directory.  Even when logged in as 
an administrator account, you can't touch files in the root directory 
without doing "run as administrator".

So, although you can create "\fp" and "\filepro" directories, you can't 
create "\fppath", nor any startup "\something.bat" file.  Placing everything 
in something like "\appl" just simplifies things.

At least, that's the way it's been on all Vista and Windows 7 systems I've 
looked at.
