I understand your situation as I just about managed to get out of the same chaos myself. Many vendors want their folders to be on top, resulting in lots of !, !! and!!!!!!!. They also use folders with names that bear no resemblance to the article you bought. And amongst them, there is no system, no unity. What's more, one regularly finds empty folders, even complete runtimes in them. Then there are the readme', readme's, readmes, etc folders, extras that are placed the dog knows where etc... The only method I found was to start from scratch. And this takes time and a kind of stubborness. 1/ Create a folder for every item you bought and give it a clear name. My names start with, for example, ReXXX, where Re stands for Renderosity XXX is a number from 001 to (probably never reached) 999. 2/ In that folder, I place the zips or Daz exe (folders starting with D), evt templates, tutorials, IMAGES of the items I downloaded (or created) etc. 3/ When this is ready, I saved this to high quality, non-closed DVD's and or CD's and to an external HDD. 4/ I then created two copies of the folders. In one I kept only the zip or exe, and in the other one templates, images etc... This latter one I also save as one big directory called Purchases Extras. 5/ Then, in the other copy, I replaced the zips/exe's with their unzipped/executed content. Inside this folder of course. 6/ Next comes the organising in themes. Like Fashion, Props, Architecture, Creatures, Humans, Poses,... I placed the folders created in 5 inside these Themes folders and renamed every folder that isn't named like it should. I also used subfolders for, for example, MFD, SF... Not too many though as it is not meant to be an archive but something practical to use. 7/ Then I deleted all webcontent folders from DAZ and placed everything that didn't fit in the runtimes (like readme's etc in the Purchases Extras directory.) That's about it. As said: a lot of work, but before you can harvest, you have to plow, sow etc. On the negative side: I have to restart learning Poser as I was so fixed on the organising that I didn't have the time to play...
