[X4U] Extra Applications folder

[Peter Sealy]

Just to complicate this issue a little:

I have a TiPB 867 10.4.11, now about 5 years [?] old - last Ti model  
anyway. for as long as I can remember I have had one Applications  
folder in root which holds all the Apple OS - installed apps and a  
few extras I have put there, and one "Applications" folder in my Home  
[Users] folder which has never had anything in it. I presume this  
folder was created upon OS installation. I have created a separate  
folder called "My Apps" in ~Users/me in which I install all the third  
party apps I like to play with. When I did this it created just the  
standard Folder icon. I have never had any other users for this  
computer. I don't know if I am expected to locate my extra/third  
party apps in the Users "Applications" folder. Anyone got an answer  
for this? Not doing so has had no detrimental effect on the working  
of any app from either root Applications or My Apps. What would  
happen if I deleted the User Applications folder?

Any comments?
