If I could ask for one feature in Windows 9x...

I don't understand why either of you don't use a media player to do your organizing for you. I used to do something similar to ABF and keep my music organized in folders by artist and then album, but once iTunes came out in 2000 I stopped doing that and let the program do the organizing for me. Computers are suppose to save work for us so why not let them keep your music organized?

Winamp is the best MP3 player and I don't like its included organizational system thing... but also I like keeping my hard drive organized. It's not just about how easy it is to access but if the system as a whole is organized well... while there are definitely plenty of areas of overlap or oddities in my organizational system, everything has its place and for the most part there isn't too much duplication, apart from when one partition doesn't have enough space so I've got to have similar folders on several drives. :) But yeah, I like knowing that my system is organized, and folders with thousands of items in them are the opposite of organized.

... I admit, I do break my own rules sometimes. My main anime wallpaper folder has a lot of things in them, just organized alphabetically... (there are different folders for categories, like games, anime, etc, but the two main anime wallpapers folders each have about 900 images in them...)... but videogame screenshots are kept in folders, with folders for each game... I just didn't think it was worth the time to subfolder-ize the wallpapers collection when I don't have to use it very often and that is something that is handy to all have in one list -- so you can just scroll up and down to look at the image previews. It is messy, but oh well... I don't use it much. :)
