Check it.

I don't know why folders weren't there from the start, but they're here now, so get organized!

There are other minor UI changes and some tweaks to the Quick Start menu, too.

You can also move the disc drive icon.... Not sure if that's new with this update, but I remember trying to move it before and couldn't. I haven't had a disc in my WiiU for a year, so I'll gladly move it to the back of the menu. It doesn't let you put it in a folder (I wanted to put it in my "Useless" folder), but oh well.

Also, the text spacing for folder names is terrible.... It sends the rest of a word to the second line if it's too long to fit on the first, so that "Virtual Console" folder that we're all going to create looks stupid. Putting extra spaces between the words helps a bit, but still.... It's an ugly oversight.

Took long enough to get folders out there. Glad I can finally clean up my dashboard.

It was nice to get organized. I decided that instead of a virtual console folder, I named them by console. So I have SNES, NES, and GBA folders. I have a demo folder too. I didn't think I'd care, but it's nice to be organized.
