Stick with it. You WILL spend more time looking for things than creating...at first. When I came to DS from Poser, that was my exact gripe ;). Content management (or lack thereof depending on your point of view), is the biggest hurdle in DS. Don't give up. It'll get better. Just make sure you're installing things where they're supposed to be and you'll be able to find things, eventually. I know that doesn't help you for now, but baby steps will get you where you need to go ;).

DS is a piece of software where it's biggest makeup is content. It's gonna take awhile to migrate all that mess ;) FWIW, after a year and a half I don't have much trouble finding anything, and it didn't take that whole time to learn to navigate DS.
