PLEASE HELP - Need index/categorizing software - I can't keep track of my stuff

hey Paul

I found sometimes it's just easier to forget what software you've already downloaded until you know exactly what you want to do, what system you're gonna use and what direction you're gonna take.

Then once you have that all sorted out - you can look on your hard drive first when you need a new piece of software etc etc - before you go trolling the net.

For the moment tho - I'd spend a few hours (make coffee first!) and sort all that stuff into folder on your harddrive. I've got a downloaded folder, then have software, IM systems, Gurus etc etc - then just keep adding folders to those until it all makes sense. Should only take a couple of hours, but even if it takes a day it's certainly a day well spent. Then when you download more stuff you can put it into the relevant folder straight away. I've looked at download manager programs before and found that I can do the same thing with folders for free - plus when you're in download overload do you really wanna download and pay for something else?

I also have a folder called 'Stuff I Like'. When I find something I think I want - I save the page to that folder. Just make sure you rename the file to something relevant. Chances are you'll never actually need any of it and have saved yourself truck loads of moula!
