No. That's what initflashfiles.txt is for. The structure of that file allows you to create directories and copy files to them.
Keep in mind I said copy, not move. All files remain in \Windows, even if they are copied to another directory (say \Program Files or \My Documents). What I've been told (yet will have a hard time believing until I prove it to myself) is that these are actual duplicates of the files, meaning they will take up twice as much space in your rom. What I'm still hoping is actually the case is that the rom uses symbolic linking to "copy" the files to their new location (similar to a shortcut but more seamless). That would make much more sense to me... the file appears to be in \Program Files but is actually still in \Windows... The file system thinks it's in both places but it's really not.
However, I may very well be wrong. If I am, and these are actual copies, then what a horrible design and shame on MS/HTC/whoever designed it. But that will mean we should try to only put apps in rom that are ok with running from within \Windows. Otherwise when things get moved around they will end up taking up twice as much space in the rom as they should.
Ugh, the \Windows folder is like a rats nest already. I hate having to go in there because it takes so long to display the directory listing.
