Organising the Miscellany

I thought I’d start this as a discussion rather than a question, as I don’t think it will have a specific answer.

I’m about to start organising the files I have on my machine, and would like suggestions as to directory structure.

“D:\Miscellaneous” just doesn’t seem to cut it anymore!

It’s my work laptop, so I have installation files for various contracts, code and scripts I’ve written, documents I’ve produced or downloaded, whitepapers, ebooks, etc … the list goes on.

I’ve always been very disorganised when it comes to this kind of stuff, but now I’ve taken on a new role, I feel that it may get out of hand unless I do something about it. Hence I’m intending to sort it before it becomes a problem.

So, how do you sort yours?
