It will make you in trouble when you want to find and open your file next time by wasting you a lot of time. That’s why we say to keep your files or folders organized by removing the clutter with a filing system is a great way to keep your PC health.
Step 1. Find the files you do not need any more in your hard drive.
Step 2. Take your time to plan the think about the best way you want to organize your files. Some questions like how do you spend time on your computer, what do you create, which category you want your folder to be and so on will give you a favor on the right folders you need.
Step 3. In fact, subfolders are also a good way to organize your folders in hard drive. Before creating folders or subfolders, please make sure you use logical, easy to understand names for your folders or subfolders for better PC organization.
Step 4. You also need to inspect and clean your folders regularly, for example, delete old, duplicate or unneeded files or folders to make sure that the important files are saved in the right folders, which can save you a lot of time and improve your working efficiency.

Habit 2 Clear your hard drive timely
After organizing your files and folders and clearing your desktop, now it is time to organize your data. Thanks to Windows. It offers its users to very smart and powerful utilities to clean up your hard drives, namely Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter, which can help you free up your hard drive space and make your computer running faster.

You can choose which utility to use, it is up to you. But, please remember to clean up hard drive at least once a month by manual. For Windows Vista users, they are lucky for the Disk Defragmenter in Windows Vista is automatically scheduled to run once a week. You do not run it by manual. What is more, you can change the scheduled time (default is Sunday at 4 A.M.) as you like.
Habit 3. Make full use of system restore feature
System Restore is such a program in Windows that can work as a life-saver when you have been the unfortunate recipient of unstable software, a badly timed power outage, or even a damaging thunderstorm. System Restore works to record all your important documents, settings, and preferences on your PC. If you find your files are damaged or inaccessible, System Restore is a good choice to restore your computer to the same state it was in before the data was lost.
The only thing you need to do is to use System Restore to create restore points daily and whenever you install device drivers, automatic updates or some other applications.
