Where's all that stuff I saved?

Aren't computers supposed to help you stay organized? I thought I was doing a fair job over the years, what with making folders and sub-folders and all. I can't tell you how many Word documents I've created titled "web sites." And "more web sites." And "web sites 2.0." And "history web sites." And "more history web sites." You get the idea. Now, trying to find them. I have found some, but I know I saved lots. I and was  right about something. I knew I would use them someday, so I'm glad I kept all those lists. The web sites on the Word documents are just copied and pasted urls. I generally have a pretty rotten computer which either won't save favorites or freezes up often, so I've just developed the habit of copying and pasting urls onto Word instead of trying to add to favorites. So, now I'm in the process of finding these files. Hopefully by the time I come across them, I'll have figured out how to make the links work for the links pages. If it's not one thing it's two or three others.
