How to Create a New Folder
Here's how to create a new folder to help you organize files:
Step 1: Creating a new Folder:
-
To create a new folder on the Desktop, right click on the Desktop, scroll down to New in the menu that pops up, and click on Folder.
- To create a new folder inside another folder, such as in the My Documents folder, open the folder, click on File at the top, scroll down to New, and click on Folder.
- If you have Windows XP, making a new folder inside another folder is even easier. Open My Documents or another folder you'd like create a folder inside of. On the left side of the box, under "File and Folder Tasks" is a link that says "Make a New Folder." Simply click on the link.
Step 2: Naming a Folder:
-
After the first step, you should end up with a new folder that says "New Folder," highlighted in blue and surrounded by a black box. Now don't click! And let go of your mouse. Trust me on this one.
-
Type the name of the folder (what you would like to call it). The text you type will immediately replace the "New Folder" text.
- Hit the Enter key on your keyboard to make your new folder official so it won't disappear on you. That's it! You're done. Feel free to start placing files in your new folder!
