I use CCleaner but it's impossible (for me) to keep my pc completely organized so every now and then I have to erase my hd putting everything I care in DVDs.

The worst thing that happened to me was like 4 months ago when my hard drive crashed and i lost about a computer full of pictures, game data(i play allot of pc games),bookmarks(i bookmark almost every website i go on often) and other stuff. i was so pissed for the next week.
I only ever have removable mounted devices on my desktop, such as usb sticks or disk images and sometimes files I'm working on before I move them into the right place.
My home directory is stored on a separate set of hard drives from the OS and applications, and is backed up automatically.
All my downloads go into the download stack in the dock which I then move into the relevant folders every so often.
All my wallpapers and photos are organised and stored in iPhoto.
My music, podcasts, videos, DVD rips and TV recordings are stored in iTunes.
My documents and various other files are all sorted into relevant folders within the documents folder.
I rarely browser through the folders though, instead I just use spotlight to find the file I'm looking for as it's usually quicker.

I have my pc well organized. My hard drive is separated into two main components, the Program section where I install basic programs, drivers, etc... and the 'Other' section. This other section is separated into pictures, games, downloads, etc... the lot.
My desktop keeps getting full day by day, but then usually after about 2-3 days I organize everything where it belongs. It's work yeah, but hey, when I'm looking for something I know exactly where to find it. I like the order in my pc, not that everything is one big chaotic mess, but that's just me :p

Lets see...
The only icon on my desktop is the Recycle bin, all of my media is well organized (many sub folders to cut back on load time), I always delete program that haven't been used in over a month, and I delete all installers after I use them. So, my computer is very well organized.

I only seem to organize my anime videos and manga. They're all stored in separate folders, and I have subfolders for the raws and soundtracks. My non-anime- or jpop-related music is all organized too, because of iTunes. I always make sure that there are less than two rows of icons on my desktop. Occasionally though, I save files to obscure folders because I'm too lazy to make a new one, and then I forget where they are when I'm looking for them sometime later.
On the other hand, my pictures are not organized at all. I didn't do it in the beginning so I could scroll through them all at once, but it's starting to get huge, and my computer hates having to load all the thumbnails and details. If I could tag files the way you can label messages in gmail, then I would definitely do it.

I never usually have more than a row on my desktop, my pictures are the only things i truly organize every thing else i throw into a appropriate folder
I like to say that im pretty neat when it comes to orginization of files.
I removed all of the text from my desktop icons (Alt 255) to make it easier to see or make it less cluttered. I originally had only one line of icons along the top, but Ive seen to be using more programs nowadays so it starts going along the side haha.
And alot of times when i download files and pictures, i put them in a "temp" folder, and when I have some free time or when bored, I will put those files where they belong or delete them if necessary.
I separate all of my pictures into categories, and start new ones when they get over 1500+ files. If there isnt a category, I put them in a "random" files folder.
I defrag weekly or whenever I go somewhere; its usually done when I get back. I disk cleanup and TuneUp2007 whenever I think it needs to be done, which also seems to be weekly.
I make DVD backups of important files every year. I also have those files on an old hard drive sitting on top of the shelf, so that If the house catches on fire, I can just escape with the HD because I dont really care about my computer as much as I care about my PSD's!

I've been collecting my files (music, photos, bookmarks, Word documents) in folders for about 6 years now, and a lot of the directories to those files remain unchanged. I always try to backup as much as often and every time I reformat I try to put things back where they belong. Folders are a good way to keep things organized. Sometimes I do get too many files at once and I usually spend a whole day just re-arranging my files because I feel if you leave everything cluttered it gets so hard to move around, hard to find things and annoys me. I think it's really worth organizing everything into folders and nesting folders into other folders if necessary - it makes everything really easy to find and backup as much as possible.
My PC I think is extremely well organized!!
Desktop has only 2 Icons My Computer, Network Connections
My C Drive has only windows and all my apps
My D Drive has 6 folders Installed Games, ISO, Wallpapers, Programs, ISO's and MP3's which is sorted by Band, Album and every song has all details!!

My Computer (when he wasnt a piece of junk) was very gtood organized every was perfectly on the place its belong everything just when it comes to the folder with the pics there was a chaos :)
No Icons on my desktop, all my drives are clean and neat, rearranged into folders and such. I don't like clutter, its annoying.
Not too well organized, but still okay for me. ^^ My desktop has not more than 20 icons that is lining the side of my desktop. About the file oragnizing, I separate my OS, installed games, and datas on different partition. But my data partition is so crowded with junk files, and I'm too lazy to organize them. ^^
