Coming from the "What's Your Name -- Who's Your Daddy" department, Lockergnomie Joe Parker knows what to do with his downloads. You may be the type of person to hold onto your downloads, but will you always remember what 'HPSJAF10.ZIP' contains inside? I doubt it. Immediately after downloading something, I suggest renaming it to something a bit more memorable. If it's a program, name the archive appropriately (including a version number). If it's a graphic, what (or who) is it of? No more confusion. Dude -- you've got 'long file name' capabilities in Windows 9x/NT, so you may as well make the most of that environment.
