Moving CS5 Applications to another folder?

I recently did that and it seemed to work, but I returned to status quo, as some applications might get confused, if they are not in the Applications folder.
But I get what you mean, Adobe takes up quite a lot of visual real estate for their applications.
Why don't they have one Adobe folder where all that stuff goes into?

Not tried it, but I think it may cause problems with Auto-update (or whatever the Adobe updater is called now), as it may expect to find apps in the default location.
And, ironically, there is a folder within my Applications folder just called "Adobe", but it currently just contains Adobe Help, AdobePatchFiles and Flash Player.

Choose different on install
Unfortunately, reinstalling is the best option for this. I moved my CS3 apps into the Adobe folder and got the "application has moved" error every time I opened an app, but when I installed CS6 on my laptop, I remembered to choose a different folder and it worked fine.
