Organizing web site files

Hi
I need some ideas (pro's and con's) about filing systems for the web site files.
In my first web site I placed all files in the root and I wasn't happy with that. Will it be smarter to save in folders? Or maybe I should ask: What is the maximum number of files to have in a folder before it becomes impractical.
If I use folders what do I do with the css files? Do I put a css file in each folder or do I use a global address?
With a global address I can't preview.

Anybody got some ideas.​

All pages in the root and set a folder up for images

I agree with typingmums. Always keep your images in a seperate folder and files in the root. Makes it so much easier to distiguish between the two.
