 File naming conventions
 -----------------------
 
-TODO
+-   All file names written with small letters, use dash to separate words, rather than underscores, e.g. `qubes-dom0-update`. Never use spaces!
+
+### File naming in Linux/Unix-like systems
+
+-   User commands that operate on particular VMs (also those accessible in VMs): `/usr/bin/qvm-*`
+
+-   User commands that apply to the whole system (Dom0 only): `/usr/bin/qubes-*`
+
+-   Auxilary executables and scripts in `/usr/libexec/qubes/` (Note: previously we used `/usr/lib/qubes` but decided to change that)
+
+-   Helper, non-exeutable files in `/usr/share/qubes/`
+
+-   Various config files in `/etc/qubes`
+
+-   Qubes RPC services in `/etc/qubes-rpc`. Qubes RPC Policy definitions (only in Dom0) in `/etc/qubes-rpc/policy/`
+
+-   All VM-related configs, images, and other files in `/var/lib/qubes/`
+
+-   System-wide temporary files the reflect the current state of system in `/var/run/qubes`
+
+-   Logs: either log to the system-wide messages, or to `/var/log/qubes/`
+
+### File naming in Windows systems
+
+-   All base qubes-related files in `C:\Program Files\Invisible Things Lab\Qubes\` (Exceptionally spaces are allowed here to adhere to Windows naming conventions)
+
+-   Other, 3rd party files, not Qubes-specific, such as e.g. Xen PV drivers might be in different vendor subdirs, e.g. `C:\Program Files\Xen PV Drivers`
