Update:
Due to a catastrophic hardware failure of my Win 7 system I was forced to buy a new Win10 system.
I also bought an additional 6 TB external drive. My two 4 TB external drives are nearly filled.
With this new drive, I've resorted my movie files for archiving.
With this change, I've created a new folder system for my archives.
While I am going to continue my current notepad listing of new aquisitions as usual, the archiving is going to be a bit more directed and specific to my own genre system.
As time permits, I will be resorting my collection into the following folders.
Eventually all my drives will be similar. Over time, some minor changing and labeling may occur.
With help from the members here at Alien Soup and members at a few other forums, this is how the changes unfold...

For the dead actors in which I have their entire movie listings, I no longer track because those folders/files are now complete. For instance, I have all the Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee films so they no longer need to be on this folder system. The dead actors on this list are for the ones with films I do not have. When an actor is complete, the contents will be moved to its appropriate location and this folder will be deleted.
