Org..an...ise.. what is this word?
I've had my hard drive/ entire computer fail on me so many damned times that my filing system has become as messy as my desk, but what I /do/ do, is if I have a project in particular I'm working on, I make a subfolder in that work folder for refs.
I also try and keep things separated by type - so I had an environments folder, then types of environments (thank you last dead hard drive for the demise of /that/) So if you have time to really sort, figure out how you can look for things most efficiently - by that I mean what is your mindset if say you are looking for a sc-fi enviro type ref, would you have that under sci-fi/environments, or under environments/scifi, or some other way that makes sense to you.
In the end you gotta sort stuff out how your brain works, someone else's system might be utterly illogical to you.
