The icon trick is a good idea - I’ll have to try that. I had a similar structure at one point that quickly fell apart. I probably need to figure out exactly why it fell apart and address that. And I probably need to delete some projects I have hanging around

Yeah, the icons are a great help and the folders are quite okay, the only issue is that aside from tons of files I have alot of services running per project (a db, an indexing servie, iis website etc) which fry my pc alot, the way I solved that was to by default not start the process (classic windows config) and I crated a star script which I run when I start a project. In the future I might create a ui for this.

Take a look at Docker. I had the same problem and Docker was the solution.
