Over time, Moving files, updating or reformatting your computer etc. I end up with tons of misc. files in folders all over the place. for example
sort, sort1, desktop, desktop1, desktop2, desktop work, desktop all, all files, from laptop etc.
I also have three hard drives full of stuff, and four external hd's...
my attempt at fixing this mess made me wonder if anyone who lives on their computer actually ever has things in order...

Yes, it's very simple and only took me almost 10 years to do and commit to.
Main PC stores everything where it needs to be. I have shortcuts on my desktop leading to every common folder I need access to and every common file as well.
On the other computer, I create those same shortcuts on the desktop but they lead to the main PC via network.
Same for music, video, documents, everything is on main pc. The usual icons for music, pics, video and documents on the other PC are altered to lead to the location on the main pc. The other pc is merely a "terminal" for lack of better explanation.
I also have all of this mirrored in exact same folder structure on an external 2TB drive attached to my main pc for master backup.
