    Folder Organization Tips?


    Hey! This is a bit of a weird question but I'm building my second PC as I'm posting this, and I'm planning on using it for work, music, games, etc. I was wondering if anyone has any pro tips on making sure that all of my folders are organized or if you want to share how you think about organizing all of your files? Thank you Folder Organization Tips? :)

    Tips on organizing the Document Folder

    I have Windows 10 Home, and I noticed a lot of apps like to save configuration and other data files in the Documents Folder. Personally, I feel that they should be stored in a different location under the current user's folder. (For example, under C:\Users\User\AppData). Is there a way to tell Windows 10 that applications should save these files somewhere else? It just makes the Documents Folder look messy. How have you handled this? I'm looking for tips, ideas, suggestion, best practices, etc for organizing and/or separating legitimate documents from application data so that User data and documents are easier to sync and back up.

    Folder organization

    Hello.

    I have recently bought a computer with Windows 10, after many years of Win 7. I was very satisfied with 7.

    Since installing, I am trying desperately to understand what Microsoft thinking is regarding file/folder organization. Although I'm fairly computer literate, I can't get my head around the defaults regarding OneDrive, C:, This PC, and users. For us, a very
    simple environment - my wife and I on single computer - no network. We want to share all folders/files on (what used to be CFolder Organization Tips? :).

    Can anyone suggest a reference that explains and suggests optimal organization of folders? I just don't get it. And Microsoft seems to be negligent in making this user environment friendly!

    Thanks.
