Just wondering... I keep most things sorted and categorized, but I do have a fair number of "Random Crap" directories that could stand to be cleaned up.

*votes for the second option*

I keep it as clean as possible but sometimes need to do some searching to delete some large files. :\

It's a mess. Although it's somewhat organized but in a oddlball way. I could probably sort everything roughly within a hour. Which I probably should do as I might migrate to another computer.

There was one point in time where I had 60+ items on my desktop... I deleted most of them, since they weren't even used for quite a long time. I have a folder on my desktop called Closet, where I keep everything that I'm too lazy to move to My Documents, which is full of things that I'm too lazy to move to their respective places. Closet's about 175mb. Everything else that's unsorted adds up to about 60-100mb. Things aren't so intense that I can't find things, but I do have to do a bit of digging to find something.

Option 1; with some folders that are designated "work in progress/use" folders for data that either isn't yet sorted (may need to create a new folder somewhere or something), serves only temporary function (most of it), or is in use and that I want to get at quickly.

The rest is all sorted to what has been described by others as a slightly obsessive compulsive extent.

My house on the other hand... I'm still working on that one.

^ more or less ditto. although occasionally I won't get around to putting something where it needed to be, or organizing a sub-subfolder for a sub-folder (sprites, fucky u )

Eh, I organize some things well. Usually, I have no trouble finding anything.

When it comes to things like sprites, however, it's usually all in one folder. =\ Most of them are just things I don't even think are worth showing off, though.

It's pretty well organized, down to the point where I have folders for even one item! I learned this from the first several times I formatted and couldn't find anything at all afterwards without my 50 desktop shortcuts.

It isn't really organized so much as I just kind of tend to remember where I put things...if that makes any sense .__. but I have a few folders of sorted things. I just recently sorted my music folder, I felt so proud 8D but theres still a ginormous folder of "Misc Songs" that are...pretty much just that. it has just about no organization at all

The files that matter, media files, I have pretty well-sorted but I do have certain things that could be held up a bit better.

And I'm definitely not one of those people that only has 4 folders in their root directory or some shit like that.

Not organized at all, though way back in the beginning, I actually made some (mostly failsome) plans...

Initially, I partitioned my first HD into C: (system), D: (programs) and E: (data)... D: quickly ran full, so programs started going into "E:\programme"...E: quickly ran full as well, so I bought a new, 80-GB HD, which received the foreboding letter I: and, like D, got spammed with programs in its root directory.

As for my other files, there's only minor local patterns of organization... like most emulation-related things actually being somewhere in E:\Emulate\ and about 80% of the music being in E:\SPC (folder name because I didn't really bother about anything but SNES music back when I thought this up; MP3s go into E:\SPC\etc); the rest is split up among the mIRC downloads folder, the Trillian downloads folder and the several folders labeled "junk" or comparable throughout my HDs. Yeah, as for those. Initially (like 6 years ago) I put all the stuff into D:\Web\, then I created E:\schrott and, with the new HD, I:\ramsch (both Schrott and Ramsch are German jargon that pretty well translates to "junk"). Those folders hardly have any subdirectory structure, I:\ramsch for instance holds anything from software setup.exes over a vast amount of unrelated to each other PNGs whose filenames are compounds of "lol" or "wtf" and a random number to a few Anime episodes. I:\ramsch\saves contains all kinds of flash and what-not I saved off the internet. When looking for a certain picture, I have the following folders to check, at the very least, besides the beforementioned: D:\Archiv ("archive"), E:\iisservices\* (back from IIS wasn't broken on my machine yet, public HTTP and FTP folders), E:\nticker\* (for everything related to my old school newspaper), ~\Eigene Dateien\* (my documents, I detest saving in there but often enough don't pay attention), E:\onlinespiel\* (formerly the directory tree for a browser MMOG I was coding, but developed into a dump for a lot of PHP-related stuff, including various Acmlmboard distributions), E:\etc\*, I:\coding\*; probably there are yet a lot more which I forgot about.

So yeah, you get the idea.

del /F /S /Q * would probably be a good way to put a bit of organization into things, now that I think of it.

Organized as well as I can think of; ROMs, emulators, mp3s, documents, schoolwork (each class has its own folder), on and on I could go. I just like knowing where I put everything because having to search for things I need is just irritating to me. First option.

Very well organized... Though it wouldn't look that way to someone else. It's fairly rare that I have to actually hunt something down (and usually that's more because there's more than one place where it could logically be).

Only really disorganized portion is my desktop, where I basically just dump things until it's looking too full. Then I move the stuff where it should go.

I have all my dll's in ome folder and all my data files in another *shot*

Though really I have things organized, minus a few random crap categories...
It's mostly due to lazyness and that I am not using that file in the moment....
