Looking for "information organizer" program

[Chaos Master]

hi people.

I have, in other hard drive, ~500 megabytes of
text/spreadsheet/presentation/image/PDF files, from electronic circuit
schematics to lyrics for music. Sometimes, finding stuff on it is a problem.

I am looking for some software to "index" those data, sort of like a
"information organizer" tool. Since I don't know the exact name, I am limited
in what to search.

My scanner come with a program (PaperCOM) that does almost what I want,
creating the concept of "tray" where scanned stuff go. (e.g. one tray for
photos, other tray for text...), but it requires all input to come from the
scanner.

Q: Does someone here knows a program to "organize information"? I think it
would be like a database program, with file name/size/description. But I am
not wanting to build all this from scratch in Access or Excel. It would take a
lot of time.

you could try something like disclib http://www.lyrasoftware.com/disclib/
which although it calls itself a cd organiser is actually just as happy with
hard drives.

Don't underestimate the use of folders (aka. directories) in windows
explorer, or any other operating system for that matter.

Here are my root directories (kept on a drive in my computer and on an
unplugged external drive and on various cds/dvds) that perhaps you can
use as an example:

[root d:\]
backup - all installed program or windows settings, copy of windows
directory

filing - stuff I would put in a filing cabinet

multimedia - mp3s, skins, wallpaper, etc

photos - digital pictures I take

reference - collected knowledge

software - drivers, software not requiring installation, and install
executables for software requiring installation.

works - my work, stuff I've created
[/root d:\]
