&gt; My Documents [Sort by Date]<p>At the top.<p>The way that one person manages their documents probably isn&#x27;t going to be the same as another, but generally a person is consistent with all their files.<p>In this case, it&#x27;s either a document that you have several types of, in which case you would have an existing folder structure, or it&#x27;s a one-off that you dump in My Documents along with all your other one-offs.  Even if you lose it, file systems all keep date-time information, so you can easily search for the all the files last modified yesterday.<p>The problem with liberal tagging is that it requires a bunch of up-front effort that you&#x27;re never going to perform.  In this case, if it were an email, you&#x27;d just use your email browser (specialized software!) to find the document again based on the things you remember about it (date, source, size, etc).
