- This is created by System 7 File Sharing. Let's say someone shares your
- hard disk, and renames "Microsoft Word" to "Fred's Most Hated WP". The
- system needs to be able to track that if you have the window open
- already, so it uses the "[][][]Move & Rename" folder as a holding tank
- for stuff like this.
