[SDCard] Configure default installation directory

Hello Friends,

I have HTC Desire S. I want to configure particular folder in the SD card as default application installation directory (let say: /sdcard/program_files/) instead of (/sdcard).

I have tried doing ...

>> adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

That only help to make future installation to go in SD card but by default only under /sdcard/

The issue is that when I want to explore my SD card, folder organization looks very fuzzy because of plenty of folders created by different applications.

Please, somebody instruct a way to direct installation to go under particular directory folder.
