When I copy my photos to my laptop, I put them in a folder structure  
like this:

  2006
    01_Jan
    02_Feb
    03_March

And so on.  I index them all with a piece of software called iView.   
Don't know if there is a PC version but I'm using it on a Mac with  
good results.

As the harddrive gets too full, I can take a few months at a time and  
archive them to a DVD (two copies, please!) and an external harddrive.

Sure there are duplicate filenames, but they are almost a year apart,  
and in different folders, so it doesn't matter.

Any galleries/albums/websites that I construct with my photos are  
dragged into iPhoto and worked on there.  But the "originals" (kind  
of like the negatives from the old days) stay in the YYYY/MM folder  
heirarchy permanently.
