There is a temptation to comment on this. Umm...Do you thinks lots of data files would slow down your computer in any significant way; after all, they just sit there. It's all those little crazy animations and programs running on the desktop or background I think slow down it more.

And...shortened names. No. Definitely not. AbsolutelyUntrue&Invalid. I don't Believe in ShortenedNames...cause you forget what they refer to and/or they do not instantly click OR get searched well.

Like..uh...the last photo I edited and saved was: SuperStrategy2Max_Walls&Towers_BreakthroughPoints.jpg.

C? Now I know right away what the darn photo isl

                  Don't make a habit of saving just about everything that finds 
                  its way into your Inbox. Take a few seconds to glance through 
                  the content, and save a file only if it's relevant to your work 
                  activity. Having too much data on your computer adds to the 
                  clutter that makes it harder to find things in the future – 
                  and it may, over time, slow down your computer's performance 
                  too – so be selective about what you keep.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newHTE_85.htm"><DIV><B>Follow a consistent method for naming 
                  your files and folders.</B> For instance, divide a main folder 
                  into subfolders for customers, vendors, and co-workers. Give 
                  shortened names to identify what or whom the folders relate 
                  to. What's more, you can even give a different appearance or 
                  look to different categories of folders – this can make it easy 
                  to tell them apart at first glance.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4EF1355B-D3E2-4D12-B3A2-583766D19D6A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
