Heh. I'm not as patient as Acadia, to rename a bunch of folders. But I do have a lot of content, and I'm pretty careful to keep them in separate runtimes.

I also download my zip files in the same way, i.e. to something like My Documents/3D/new content/ then subdivided similarly to my runtimes - I have separate runtimes for major figures (V4, M4, Antonia) or categories of figures (minor figures, children), and for other items (scenes-buildings, props-animals, hair-hats etc). Once I install my zips, I move them to - you guess it - an "installed content" folder. Once again, divided as above.

Then, if I'm having a hard time finding something from Poser's library, I can easily go back to the zip and take a quick peek at how the vendor did naming conventions etc.

Buying from DAZ is a bit bigger problem, because they use installers instead of zip files, which can be a bit of a PITA. On the other hand, usually their naming conventions are reasonably standardized, so it's not as bad as it could be.
