- Well, personally I have 4 specific-purpose and 3 general-purpose labels:
- Schoolwork (I'm a college student), Personal, Entertainment, and
- Role-Playing Games (for all my notes, character sheets, etc.)
- When I have to use the school lab computers, I can "Find" all of my
- Schoolwork folders and copy stuff out of them; I also can "Find" my RPG stuff
- and copy it for other people to use...
-
- I use the last two general-purpose labels (they are Project 1, Project 2,
- and Project 3) to force the sort order in a folder of folder aliases to my own
- pattern; System Folder stuff on top, documents in the middle, and useful
- utilities on the bottom...
