BOINC folder names

Description

BOINC version 6 has two separate folders in two different locations. Each contains different stuff. But both folders have the same name, BOINC.

On the forums everyone has to refer to the BOINC folder containing the data as the 'BOINC Data' folder in order to prevent confusion. Would it be possible for this folder to be actually called 'BOINC Data' in future? We would then be referring to it by its name (usually a good idea). Inexperienced users looking for the correct BOINC folder to back up would immediately see that they'd found the right one.

Thanks, Rom. I'm glad this hasn't been overlooked in the maelstrom of change.
