Creating folders
Folders are much like the folders in a file cabinet. They can contain files and
other folders.
Files are much like paper documents—letters, spreadsheets, and pictures—that
you keep on your notebook. In fact, all information on a notebook is stored
in files.
To create a folder:
1 Click Start, then click My Computer on the Start menu.
2 Double-click the drive where you want to put the new folder. Typically,
Local Disk (C:) is your hard drive and 3½ Floppy (A:) is your optional
diskette drive. If you do not see the contents of the drive, click
Show the
contents of this drive
.
3 If you want to create a new folder inside an existing folder, double-click
the existing folder. If you do not see the contents of the folder, click
Show
the contents of this drive
or Show the contents of this folder.
4 Click File, New, then click Folder. The new folder is created.
