So, with 10k folders, how do you find anything?
The same way you do now, using either a file manager, or a command line utility. ( Preferably one that works! :) )

I assume Kado is jiving me, but I'll play along while I wait for the football game.
Suppose I download a PDF file that is a manual for a Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UDH2 motherboard.
It goes here:
D:\computer\hardware\motherboards and chipsets\Gigabyte
Likewise a live recording made by Ella Fitzgerald goes here:
D:\mp3\pop and jazz\ella fitzgerald\live
It's just a nested series of folders.
How do I find out if I have a particular Ella Fitzgerald live recording?
Well, I know that I wouldn't put the Ella song in the Elvis folder. So, oddly enough, I would navigate to D:\mp3\pop and jazz\ella fitzgerald\live and look.
If I was unorganized generally, I would have all 22,000 mp3s in a single folder and have lost my mind long ago.
You have to be willing to name a file based on its contents. That is--your Gigabyte motherboard manuals can't be named "cool computer stuff".
I have a high powered near-instantaneous file search tool ("Everything"), which can find any file on my system by name within 1 or 2 seconds. I use it occasionally if I think it's quicker than navigating and looking.
But you knew all of that. I'm just playing along with you. As I said, "to each his own".
