DW 8.0.2 Not creating Templates folder

Question

So today I went to create a template (first on this
new , large site we are working on) and DW will not create the
default templates folder. It keeps saving my .dwt in the root
folder.
Background. I have all the permissions in the world on this
server - there are 4 sites I work on daily and two of them have
templates created by DW MX and MX 2004. This is the first time I
have tried to create templates for this particular site (on the
same server as the others). DW is installed on my local machine and
I do not EVER save any work locally, so if this is the solution -
then it isn't good enough. We are required to work 100% on our
servers for backup reason (don't get me started), which hasn't been
a problem in the past. I use PUT/GET to move my files b/t servers
(mockup/live). Again - never a problem in the last versions of DW,
but for some reason 8.0.1 is having issues.
Anyone have ANY ideas why DW 8.0.1 [Correction: 8.0.2] isn't
creating the Templates folder it needs???
Thnx,
Chris

> Is this wrong?
Yes, only in that it's so error prone.
If your template has two or more editable regions, you do not
get the option
to divide your content between them. All of your content must
go into one
of those two.

There is not.

Are you using FILE | Save As Template...?
