Now-a-days almost everybody in their official life use computers. They accumulate their daily data as files and collect those files in various folders in their system hard drives. Over a period of time, definitely most of the people face difficulties in managing their files and folders. They do regular searches for their own files and folders and face lot of difficulties in finding them in their own system. Here are some of the tips to manage files and folders.
Categorize folders into core projects or work categories
Create folders based on the project or work categories and save files in those folders immediately whenever a new file is created or an existing file is updated. Don’t use desktop folder to save files temporarily since people will usually forget to move the desktop files to relevant folders and this will create more confusions.
Prefix or Suffix date or work project’s title to file names
Usually while saving a file, don’t forget to prefix or suffix date or relevant work project. This will help you to search files in future once many such kind of files get accumulated in the system hard drive over a period of time. For example, if you are saving the detail about employees in your department, then it is better to give a file title “Employee detail_11 01 2010”. This title will help you to search such kind of files in future easily as the file name conveys the file content and date.
Use one hard disk drive as working drive and another drive as back up drive
Always use any one hard drive as current working drive and use another hard disk drive as a back up drive wherein you can backup important data. Backups can be managed by giving date of backup as folder name which will give you hint in future on which date you have taken a backup of files.
Delete unwanted files and folders
Definitely, over a period of time, you will feel some files and folders are not required and hence can be deleted from your hard disk. Delete those files immediately. Don’t be in a dilemma whether to delete it or not. But, if you have separate backup facilities like CDs or DVDs, then try to make a backup on those external devices and then delete such files and folders immediately.
Follow the above hints while working with your official computer and be happy all time on managing your files and folders.

This video will show you how to update CyanogenMod 7 on your (CM7 supported) device. Links: CyanogenMod 7: www.cyanogenmod.com Dropbox: www.dropbox.com If you learn better by reading instructions, I’ve posted a tutorial on Android Central’s forums. http Notes: 1) You don’t need to download the Google Apps pack or be concerned about losing any of your apps. They will not be affected. 2) We’ll be using Dropbox to transfer the updated ROM from our computer to the device. (You don’t necessarily have to use Dropbox. You can use a USB cable to transfer the ROM to the SD card or you could just download the ROM directly from the browser. This is just how I do it.) 3) Do not select Wipe Data and Cache, as this basically acts as a factory reset. You will lose all your data if you select this. You’ll also have to reinstall the Google Apps pack. 4) If you’re unhappy with the new version of CyanogenMod 7, you can always roll back to whatever you were running before. That’s why I had you backup the device before the update. To restore your device to the way it was before we did anything, press and hold the power button -) Reboot -) Recovery. Your device will now boot into CWR. Once it boots, scroll down to Backup and Restore -) Restore and then select the backup on the bottom of the list. Once it’s done, select reboot system now. Now your device will reboot with the older version of CM7. It’ll be like nothing ever happened.
