I rename everything I download. I change the name of the zip file to the name of the object and include the name of the artist who created it. Some folks use cryptic names on thier files. You can use long names on files now, so it's not necessary to keep the names 8 characters or less anymore. Then, I keep a folder in my C drive called "My Downloads" and within that is a series of folders for things like Animals, Clothes, Hair, Props, Textures, etc. When I get enough of them collected up, I'll burn the collection of folders onto a CD, then delete them from the hard drive (I make sure the CD works properly first). In a Word Perfect document, I have a table that I catalog the CD's in, so I can find objects, with info on who created it, which CD it's on (I number them), and whether or not the object can be used for commercial projects. Probably not the most efficient system, but it works for me. Melanie
