About folders and files
Folders are much like the folders in a file cabinet. They contain files and other
folders.
Files are much like paper documents – letters, spreadsheets, and instructions –
that you keep on your computer. In fact, all information on a computer is
stored in files.
To create a folder:
1 Double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop. The My Computer
window opens.
2 Double-click the drive or folder, for example Local Disk (C:) , where you
want to put the new folder.
The drive or folder window opens. (If you do not see the contents of the
drive or folder, click
View the entire contents... )
3 Select File , then New , then Folder . The new folder is created.
4 Type a name for the folder, then press E NTER . The new folder name
appears under the folder.
