    Installer files do no belong into the program files. They should go into Downloads. Program files is owned by the trusted installer and only installed programs go there. The installer puts them there.

    I keep every download (except rejects) on an external drive.
    I also create an "ABOUT <download-title>.txt" located in with the download.

    My "About" txt file is a template (from my clipboard extender) ... takes about 2 seconds to open a new text orphan and paste clipped template
    Documentation has saved my bacon and heaps of time ... too many times to remember.
