How to Organize Files?

It’s a good habit to have a smartly managed files database. Such a file system will enable quick access to your documents, files, music, videos and images.

Here are a few simple tips to organize your files more intelligently:

Organize Documents

Spend time moving your documents from Desktop to the Documents folder. Delete unneeded files. Likewise manage the contents of the Music, Pictures and Videos folders. You can delete tons of duplicate documents using the Clone Files Checker tool.

Display User’s Files Folder Icon on your Desktop

Right click your desktop, select Personalize. Click “Change desktop icons” link on the left side panel. Check-up “User’s files” checkbox and then click OK.

Change Layout and Sort Documents

Double click User’s Files folder on your desktop. Open the Documents folder. Click the View tab on the ribbon interface. Select any option among extra-large icons, large icons, medium icons, small icons, list or details from “Layout” pick-up box.

Then in the same View tab there is “Sort by” icon in “Current View”. Select “type” from “Sort by” drop down options. This will sort files by their file types. Make sure “Ascending” option is also selected.

Separate your Documents from Windows Partition

The partition containing Windows installation files should be different than that containing your documents and files. This will save your documents and files from losing in case you need to format system drive.

Open your User’s Files folder. Right click a special folder, say Documents or Downloads. Select Properties from the context menu. Properties dialog will open. Click the Location tab. Change the default location, set a different partition, say drive D:\, and then click Apply | OK.
