I've recently made the switch from Palm to Pocket PC (Axim X50v), and I'm struggling with organizing my data such that I can actually find stuff.

For example, I've got a couple of hundred notes and scrolling through a flat list is less than ideal (I can't always remember the title of what I'm looking for, so alphabetical order doesn't help). With a half-dozen categories on my Palm, it was easier to find things.

I have the same problem with Pocket Word -- I've been trying to move some of my notes over to that, but the organizational woes continue there.

I don't get the "Show" drop-down either. "All Folders" gets me a huge list of stuff, but if I want to pick another folder to narrow things, there are something like 4 screenfuls of folders that for applications, settings, and who knows what else.

How do I get a nice tidy "My Documents" type arrangement where I see only documents and subfolders that I created, and can organize things in them? Are there better ways?
