    How do you organize your files/folders?

    Just wondering how how do you organize your pictures, documents, mp3, etc.

    This is what I do:


    PHP Code:
    E Drive (HD)
     |
     |....[
    Pictures]->  [2006] -> files pictures in 2006
                          
    [2007] -> files pictures in 2007
                          
    [2008] -> files pictures in 2006

     
    |
     | .....[
    Data] -> [Firefox] -> Cachebookmarkhistoryetc
                      
    [Thurnderbird] -> email data.
     |
     |.....[
    MP3]
     |
     |....[
    Documents]
     |
     |...[
    Torrent Downloads]
     |
     |.....[
    User group Downloads]
     |
     |
     |...[

    I have one drive for games, software etc, one for my xp install (split in 2 partitions, the other will be used for vista when I get it), one for media, and one for backup

    and crap strewn across all of them

    Need to upgrade my 250gb install HDD to a 640 or something at some point, need more space for storing random crap on

    Re: How do you organize your files/folders?

    only because i don't know how to do that PHP code thing.. heres mine..


    downloads\fileplanet - is default download location for everything.

    GAME addons and things - has individual folders for each game, has patches and mods in seperate sub-folders so i can find the stuff easier.

    game demos and games - its where i install either game demos or games, saves rooting through Program files directory.

    all in all, a nice tidy 250 GB hard drive.
    _____
    new PC is going to have a seperate drive for games and only games, another for all the rest of the stuff. never could get partitioning right properly, so why not just use another hard drive instead - theres 6 SATA ports for a reason.. I will be using 3 or 4.

    Re: How do you organize your files/folders?

    I just put absolutely everything into a narrowly defined folder with further subfolders; I'm the kind of person who has a folder for each subject, a subfolder for each module, a sub sub folder for each assignment and sometimes a sub sub sub folder for each aspect of it.

    yes.. i do have many copies of Music spread across multiple logical and physical drives (but the amount of time it would take to re-rip it doesn't bare thinking about)....

    but apart from music and video, everything is just anywhere
