Be careful with too many folder levels and too descriptive names in Windows. Surprising as it seems, there IS a limit to how long a file name can be (path included).

So a file stored as "c:\documents and settings\daniel591992\my documents\my pictures\anniversaries and birthdays\home\2007\september\3\son's birthday 1 of 145.jpg" means the path name is roughly 140 characters long (including spaces of course), which is still safe (the max is 256), but just keep it in mind.
