I have something similar going on but I take it a lot farther. My file hierarchy is for everything, I mean all of my files. Notes, documents, photos, videos, ISOs, ROMs, project files...

I don't use a cryptic numbering scheme though, I just use hierarchical filenames. Some top level hierarchies include:

- con. (concepts)

- cook. (cookbook)

- film.

- fin. (finance)

- game.

- grp. (groups, orgs, movements, etc.)

- home. (my house)

- inv. (inventory)

- lang. (languages)

- lit. (literature)

- lore. (other people's fictional universes)

- meta.

- ppl. (people)

- prod. (products)

- proj. (projects)

- school.

- self. (me)

- soc. (social)

- std. (standards)

- sys. (systems)

- veh. (vehicles)
