It has been like that for almost years in Windows (and longer, if you count OS/2), and it's all you'd need to know to use the system I proposed. However, you say that people can't do that because they don't know folders or files or opening them.[...]

I definitely sympathise with the confusion, but it seems to be the case. It's not helped by MS doing weird and wonderful tricks with Windows Explorer so that folders of files don't look like folders of files anymore - unless you spend lots of time in the background reclaiming control of your system, or using software that lets you see what's actually there ... you know, like Explorer used to.
But the fact is that enormous effort has been taken to try an hide the file system from the user - with varying levels success. Sending your average user to live there (while they create their story structure) might be a step in the wrong direction.
