How do you all keep your Ebooks / Articles etc. organized?

Many a time I don't remember that I have previously downloaded a say a Concrete Ebook and saved it under "concrete". I end up downloading the same file again, and might end up saving it elsewhere.

Do you have any good ways to keep your stuff organized?

I am renaming the file-name to represent the full title. Also for the books I am adding the authors' names, and the year of publication.

There should be somewhere a computer program that can work as a database with links to the files. Here you'll be able to put one and the same file under many different categories. However I only suppose that such program exists. If somebody knows a software with such functions, I'll be very grateful.

Another obvious tip, if you're a strong CivilEA user/downloader, is keep the same structure division as our Forum!
If you create all directories and sub-directories as our forum, will be extremely easier to put in the right place any new downloaded book.

After, the Windows search do the job!
