Is there a proper directory layout for multiple databases?

I'm trying to streamline NP by doing the multiple database thing. Starting completely from scratch, I have a basic profile with just my servers and a newgroup list. I have two questions:
1) I want to create 3 databases to work from: Music, Video, Technical. I've used the "Switch Database" command within NP to create these, within the \NewsPro\Data folder (so the path is C:\Program Files\NewsPro\Data\Music\Data, for example). Before I go any further, is this an acceptable setup? It seems OK as every database has its own Data, Copy and Temp folders. I just don't want it to get messy down the line.
2) In creating shortcuts to each of these databases, I believe the correct syntax is: "C:\Program Files\NewsPro.exe" /Music -- taking one for example. Is this correct?
