Organize Your Computer

All of us have tons of files on our computers. But how to find them when we need them? There are a few simple guidelines that, if followed, will make finding that document easy.

1.     Always file documents you create in the My Documents or Library Documents folder (depending on your version of Windows)

2.     Create subfolders within this documents folder. Subfolders can be by project, by person, by type of file, etc.

3.     Make the names of these folders the same as your paper files. Then you are looking for the same thing electronically and paper.

4.     Outlook should NEVER have subfolders within the Inbox. Create folders to keep emails under Personal Folders. Get as much out of the Inbox as possible, so Outlook runs faster.

And of course the most important thing you can do is to backup your data often. Use multiple backup media (external hard drive, thumb drive, CD, DVD) and rotate their use, as one of them will fail eventually. And take your backup off site so if your house burns down or is robbed, your data is at another location.
