Actually, any time I try to "save" a web page and want to grab the
accompanying images I find I have to re-do almost all of it because
of broken image links.  It's rare to get a page that works first time.
When I started designing (in 1993), I was always told to put images in 
a separate directory so I could keep the main directory "clean" for the
hundreds of HTML files.

Sorry, but I disagree with your accusation of MS for this one.  Talk to
the web designers about coming up with a standard.
