BleepingComputer.com: My files and folders are a chaotic mess

I am totally ignorant about how to set up and maintain a logical, methodical system of document and picture files and folders. Although I have quite a few Dummies and other books, and have read MS . Vista's and other websites, there seem to be no really basic instructions on this subject for beginners. Especially, I want to create a system in my 250 gig external drive in which I can keep my Word docs and picture files, and transfer, copy or move them out of my hard drive.

Surely, there must be somewhere some Web text or even video demos. Can anybody suggest places where I might find this info?

hi,,, there are a lot of pc tutorials on you tube,,,, if your just moving files over to the ext drive then open the ext hdd up make a file called pictures, music, movies, doc file's,,,,,etc,,, and then move or copy them over out of your internal hdd,,, i would surgest copying them over first, then check they went over ok before deleting them of the pc hdd,,, hope this helps,,,,,,
