It's not wizardry.  I spend most of my life in a command line, so my
computer is organized to make command line life easier, using lessons
learned from Unix.  I create directories called \apps, \bin, \etc, and
\tmp.  If I install a program that I think I will need in a command
line, I install it in \Apps instead of "\Program Files" (because it's
shorter, and because spaces are evil).  All the tools I write, all the
command line tools I download, and shortcut batch files to the other
tools I need all go in c:\bin.  That way, I can put "C:\bin" in the
path, instead of cluttering it up with dozens of directories that each
have one tool.  A long path costs performance.

Some people think they are stuck with the "\Documents and Settings" and
"\Program Files" nonsense that Microsoft dictates.  Not so.  It's your
computer, do what works for YOU.
