Does anyone know of any guidelines for keeping and ordering files on the PC? I mean where do you keep files that have been created e.g. letters that you might want to refer back to? In My Documents I have started to keep a separate sub-folder for each month for all correspondence and other files I have created in that month. However, this is not ideal and I wondered if anyone had any better ideas. I realise that there is probably not a definitive answer to this, but would be interestd to hear other peoples views.
Also, is there any recommended system for storing website favourites, similar to the same way that the Dewey system works, for instance, for books? I suppose I would be surprised if there was, but again I would be interested to hear what other members have to say.
