I guess my answer is a longer one than you would want, but I will put it out here anyway... I use Windows, and the first thing I do is move my home dir to C:\home\raju. This is where everything thats I will ever need to backup resides along with another directory, C:\projects. To answer your question, my projects directory looks a lot like truebokso's, with sub-dirs language based (with does not work all the time) and sub-directories to individual projects. Console on windows gives you the ability to wire up the console opening up in any directory, and so I use that to get to any project I am working on at a particular point in time. I blogged about this arrangement a while back - http://looselytyped.com/2008/05/04/windows-reinstallation/ http://looselytyped.com/2008/05/04/windows-reinstallation/ Hope this helps.
