What you didn't see in that screen shot is the scary part. ;) Inside of each of those folders are more folders. Under sunscapes and nightscapes there is a folder for sunrises and another for sunsets and of course one for nightscapes. I organized each folder that way with subfolders. I also burn them to disc to back them up. I keep them in "My pictures" because I use them for screen savers, XP allows me that where as my previous operating system didn't. Doesn't matter what subfolder they are in, they all show. I have two separate folders under my documents, one has people pix in them and the other has my resized images for upload. I don't particularly want images of people for screensavers, that is why they are separate. I always save the full size image in "My pictures" It is easy for me to catalog them too as in each folder all are named, like in the sunrise folder the file names would start with SRS001 and sunsets would start with SST001 etc. This way when I look for an image, it is much easier to find. Do I need professional help? Probably! Do I care? Go ahead ask me! ;) Brenda :)
