Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply.
No, I am not using this directory structure for source control reasons. I guess, I was a little bit confused when I initially set up the account. So, this is a mess. What would be the easiest way to fix this? I wonder if I have to start from scratch with the account. I mean setting up everything again. I hope not. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks again.
