1. Store all documents in the My Documents folder and keep this folder on the desktop. Your applications should be separate from your documents.
   
2. Break down folders by categories pertinent to your business, i.e., by client, project or alphabetical. Don’t forget the infamous “miscellaneous” folder and a “personal folder” as well.
   
3. Keep your desktop clear by putting shortcut icons in the taskbar and filing all documents in the appropriate folders.
   
4. Delete documents no longer needed or copy to a CD for archival use. Be sure to label the CD for easy reference. If you have many CDs, buy a CD notebook holder for ease in locating all CDs at once.
   
5. Set up one folder for downloaded files. You can then locate the files more easily for installation.
   
6. Uninstall any programs you no longer need. This frees up space as well as removes clutter from your computer.
   
7. Set up programs such as scan disk, disk defragmenter, back-up programs, system updates, or virus programs to perform or update automatically, freeing up your time to do other work.
