If you have a file called image.jpg, and change the name to image.txt, you will get a warning. This is good. Changing a files extension can break certain files." Actually this exists in 10.4 as well, though there is no option (that I know of) to turn it off, as there is in 10.5. I get this warning every single time I try to change a file extension and I'm running 10.4.11. “Show warnings before changing an extension is a new addition to system 10.5.

I use that in my home folder where I have folders that OS X sets up and folders that I created. I added a color label to the folders I added and selected view by label. That segregates my folders from the Apple folders in the home folder.
