What is the best way to organize Apps in the Applications Folder?
I have dozens of apps and it is becoming impossible to find anything?

Or use Spotlight to open the apps.
The best way is to not organize the folder itself, as many apps need to be left in their original locations. Instead, create another folder, with whatever subfolders for categories of apps, and then make aliases inside that folder to your apps. That way you can organize all you want without moving the apps from their default locations.

Thanks for all your comments.
I would like the simplest all in one solution for managing app folders. Which one of these does it best?
a. spotlight
b. quicksilver
c. alfred
d. does "Agile" have a solution? all of their products are great.
I've never used Alfred. I like the do it yourself solution offered in post #2. Why pay for software if I can do it? (OK, so is Alfred free?)
