Yes, I have experienced the "excessive use of Partition Magic syndrome" last year. Some here may remember my desperate screams for help. I finally undid the changes and reverted back to a single partition.

Every folder that I open has a mixture of file types. I have pictures mixed in with personal documents and music mp3s literally everywhere. I've had this computer nearly three years without a filing scheme so you can only imagine the chaos and clutter. I hesitate to move stuff around willie-nillie for fear that some program will need them where they are and not be able to find them.

Welp, back to organizing.

Thanks all, for the great practical wisdom.
