Here is a possible scenario to eliminate the confusion:
1.Download and install Everything Search. https://download.cnet.com/Everything/3000-2379_4-10890746.html
2. It is a fast, fabulous windows search utility to search your hard drive(s) for specific files, ...
3. Take a RAW image (s) or locate on a card or disk and read the file's name. When I shot Canon it was CR2. Now with my Sony it is ARW
4. Using "Search Everything" search for the file name of your RAW images. Select all and create a folder(s) on a drive for those RAW - if possible label the folder(s) according to subject or dates, depending on how you want them filed.
4. Repeat for JPEG images.
Write down the drive & folder(s) where you created and stored the images.
5. Repeat that sorting for any and all classifications of images that are scattered on your drives.
6. Lastly, be very discrete and specific about future storage of images.
It's your choice how you want to view these newly organized images. Some use Lightroom, some Adobe Browser, some organize in Explorer. It does not matter which you choose as long as it serves your purpose for YOUR organization of photos. Finally, you rule it - don't let it rule you! Use discretion when uploading new images from a memory card.
