Here's a real simple overview...

First, if the stuff you have is bought from here, or almost anywhere except DAZ, it should install to the correct locations from the zip file if you have "use paths" selected. DAZ stuff is almost always (there are two exceptions that I know of) in self-extracting exe files.

Simply put, OBJ files - the base model for most things - goes in Geometries. Textures go in Textures, generally in a a folder with the author's name or the product name. Figures go in Character although there are a couple of exceptions with Poser 6. Poses - including MATS, MORS, INJS, REMS and actual poses go in Pose. Faces, Hair, Hands, Camera, Lights generally go where you'd expect them to. Props more or less go into Props but you should know that some Hairs go in there and so do most - but not all - dynamic clothes.

If you want to organize your stuff, good luck. I spent the best part of 2 years getting my Runtimes how I like them and now it's just a simple matter of dragging the folders into the subfolders I want them to show up in.

You're not - absolutely not - dense. Everyone who uses Poser faces this sooner or later. At the moment I have 2 Runtimes; my primary P6 Runtime is about 15 GB, with only P6 specific stuff in there. My secondary - but most used - Runtime is 39 GB and everything else is in that one, categorised to my preference.

If you need help with the specifics sorting your Poser content, feel free to drop me a line, either through IM or email at king_dice@yahoo.com. I'll do me level best to help you out.
