   I do. I create folders with a name that suggests what the content is.   
   Undeer that, I create sub-folders that house the various programs, and all   
   of those you listed above. i.e. One such folder here is named; My Cars.   
      
   Under that folder is the name of every make that I've ever owned with JPGs   
   and files in which there are descriptions of them. And so on.

   8^) No...For each XP update that MS has sent to me, there is a directory   
   dedicated to that specific update.

   Running Windows? Find a program called ZTreeWin v1.41...I've used this   
   program when it was called XTree from DOS 3.3 thru DOS 6.2...then found   
   out that it had a Windows version and aquired that...DOS 3.3 came with my   
   first 286 PC, c1986...
