If you only have a few documents or photos on your computer, you can manage quite happily with simply saving them to 'My Documents'. But soon you will find that it becomes difficult to find the document you want in a great long list. You keep naming documents with increasingly unfriendly names - for example "letter to solicitor 1", "letter to solicitor 23". Much better to create a folder called "solicitor". Then you can save the documents in the folder with more meaningful names, for example "house purchase 23rd June 08", "contracts exchange 14th Sept 08". No need to add solicitor to the document title, they're in the solicitor folder.
