My friends chide me for having gazzillions of folders pasted onto my desktop. It may look overwhelming -- even chaotic -- for others, but to me, everything is perfectly understandable and organized. Labeling each folder, as concisely as I can, as well as alphabetizing them, helps me work faster. Folders are my best friends!

To help out i sorting through them, I label them with exacty what can be found inside. For instance, a folder containing some photos from my wedding would not simply state: "My Wedding." I would label it more specifically: "Wedding photos -- At the Church." Well, something like that. Just so I don;t end up opening every single folder I come across in looking for one particular thing.

As well, I make sure to include the month and the year that I made that folder -- just so I have an idea if the files are current and if I need to start another folder already.

Kinda like a big mind-map for my file (re)organization...

I use the setup Chanpory describes and find that I use the "Inbox" and "Active Projects" folders most frequently. All my downloads go to the inbox, and I try to get it to 0 every day or two. http://www.lifeclever.com/how-to-organize-your-cluttered-desktop-and-regain-your-sanity/ This article over at LifeClever dramatically improved my file/folder organization.
