Zmud creating variables in every default folder is a little tiresome, especially when I go through the effort of creating the variable before hand.

I think a great option is a ripoff of VB's option explicit. This preference would require all variables be declared. To declare the variable, you create it with the #VAR or using the editor.

Doing @varName = "something" would not create a new variable. It would error out if varName hadn't been created.

I always just let the program create the @vars then moved them to whatever folder by hand.
It doesn't recgonize @vars that you have already created? Are they in the same folder as your trigger or whatever is making them?

Sometimes it recognizes them, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it creates a copy of it in any folder that is set to default, or the "root" folder most of the time.

Did you want to do @varName = "something" or varname = "something"?
My advice is to avoid using the a = b assignment of variables.

Disable a = b syntax in your General Parsing preferences, and stick to the #VA command:
#VA [variable] [value] [defaultval] [classname] as stated in the help file.
If you specify the classname using #VA, then variable will always be created in the specified class folder even if the folder was disabled or did not already exist.
