Labels For Computer Folders...?

[joko]

Im sorting out loads of photos documents etc on my laptop, & the Libraries provided are pictures & documents - however these days that line is very blurred, with photos with writing on them, or a photo of a document, which is file-type JPEG, or PNG etc & documents full of pictures but theyre DOC, ODT PDF etc.  

So just wondering what people call theirs, & where do you put certain file types?

At the moment theyre all mixed together in all the folders, even though they contain many smaller folders, but its been getting more & more confusing & annoying over the last few years, so I thought i'd do a bit of sorting.

Any ideas?
Thanks :)

I simply bung different file types together, based upon what I'm using them for.

For instance, I've got a folder that's labelled with my amateur radio callsign.  Inside that there are lots of different folders, with each one relating to a part of my hobby.  As an example, there's a folder with all of the stuff that's on the web page about my radio station.  It includes both text files and images, simply because they're part of the whole.  (i.e. it would be silly to have the text files in a 'text' folder and the image files in a 'photos' one.  The files all belong together, so they're just in a single folder).

Likewise, I'm working on a website for my performance poetry.  At the moment there are text files (with the written poems), audio files (with the poems being read aloud), image files (to create single-image videos for uploading to YouTube) and the actual single-image videos.  I see no reason to separate them.  However, once I start working on the actual design of the site, there will be a separate folder for the project files and another one for the resultant HTML files (but all still within the master folder for the site).

I suggest ignoring file types altogether and grouping your files by 'common purpose' instead.

Thanks, I do that too, but still it seems not to be enough so im wanting to break them down further, but wondered what other people used, if there were other useful titles.
I guess i'll have to get more specific with the items.

I'm a simple person so my folders are labelled.

Important Stuff.

Not Quite So Important Stuff.

Nearly Was Important Stuff.

Stuff This.

And last but not least.

Why Did I  Bother To Save It.

If it doesn't fit in one of the above the delete icon is useful.
