Organization
Just curios little opinion,
I am going through my box and trying to organize all of the texts I have in document folders. Right now they are all just saved together in one big folder, currently there are 2,723 documents, web pages, pdf, etc. I was just curious how do some of you organize all of the filez on your box. Do you use some kind of a database program or do you just make a really big file system and organize them out that way. Just wondering how everyone else does it to get some insight on the best organization.

If your on Windows
- Right-Click -> Arange Icons by Type
- Sift through and delete the ones you don't need
- Catogorize
I'll tell you my set up:
- _Projects
- Accessories
- Applications
- Audio
- Education
- Hacking
- IP Tools
- Languages
- Linux (Various Saved Distros)
- Pranks

Just for some insight

I tend to stick everything in folders and then make a html page that indexes to all my stuff. Everything is then viewed through the browser as if I was on the web. This sets things out really nicely and helps when you have gigs of stuff to keep track of.

Thanks everyone for the help,
I am beginning to sift through all of them now. It'll take a while, but I would rather not delete them, never know if I will quote them or need to reread. But I am following the example of grouping through folders. {Hopefully not too many} But thanks everyone for help, and hope you appreciate the green.

i used to categorize by extension...but that got a bit unweildy...so now my first level under my docs is
categories - graphics, audio, html, projects etc..
then i sub cat them with extensions...tif cdr swf cfm gif...
that way i can have relevant items in places that make sense

if your using 2k or up you could index the folder using indexing service and do a search for what your looking for. your results come out just like any other search engine. probability ratings and all.
personally i use catagories with subcatagories and topics
like ebooks\computer\webdesign\ or ebooks\computer\security all in my documents

hmm i do use and create folders and subfolders depending on what they are and how important they are that i have to make a folder for them.. like my MP3.. i have a folder called MP3.. and in that folder u will see 3 sub folders.. one is called "Incomplete" and another is called "Music" the other is called "Anime" i use the incomplete folder for the sharing in AudioGalaxy.. and i empty it everytime a song is finished d/l. that way no one can upload on my box and waste my precious bandwith.. and i do use "Arrange Icons by Type" always.. so i can easily figure out which is which and where they are..
