A few newbie Mac OS X questions:

  1. Despite the fact that most applications can be installed by dragging them to the Applications directory, some software still requires the creation of a separate program folder. Where should I put this folder? Does it matter?

  2. Is the Applications directory special somehow, or is it just a convenient folder with a custom icon?

  3. If I move one of these program folders later on, will the program still work? Will shortcuts to files in the folder break? Is there something similar to a registry in Mac OS X?
