I am not quite sure what exactly you are asking for, but I'll try to
give an answer.

I tend to use simple tools: directories, textfiles and a source
control system (PRCS in my case).

Each project is mirrored by a project in the source control holding
all the files. A text file lists the project names, the source
control project name, and a short description. 'Active' projects,
i.e. those I work on or refer to often, I have checked out each into
their own directory in my 'work' directory.

Useful source snippets I collect in a dedicated 'project', and again
I use a textfile to keep track of which snippet does what.

I'm probably playing in a far smaller league than you, but this
simple approach has served me well so far.
