I can give you some more tips when it comes to organzing your Poser stuff. 1.)I create folders for the major categories such as character, pose, props, faces, hair, etc. 2.) I usually create a new folder within those categories for every file I download. 3.) I have begun downloading any thumbnails for the files that I downloaded. That way I can always keep those thumbs within that folder, and use Thumbsplus to see what is in the zip file. Sometimes the artists include the thumbs in the zip, sometimes they don't. 4.) I create another folder structure for the unzipped files. So if I have "new downloads," I have "new downloads undone." It's easy just to copy the entire new downloads folder into the new downloads undone folder. From there I can unzip to temporary folders, and install into Poser. When I'm done, I can delete the entire "new downloads undone" folder because I've kept the zipped files in the "new downloads" folder... I will save the new downloads to CD's 5.) I try to have a CD for every category that I'd establshed before. The only exceptions I might have if is there are two things that logically go together. We have Vicky, Mike, etc... They have textures. We have clothes, props, etc. They have textures. I try whenever possible to keep the "subject and textures" together. So I have a Mike Character folder, and a Mike Textures folder, etc. Does any of this make sense? Bear in mind that my collection is vast. It includes every download in the 3D Comic Collective, and all the downloads to date from Renderosity free stuff, and all the stuff I've bought.
