Online Learning Boot Camp: Create a Folder


File Folders allow you to organize your files. This will reduce the time you need to spend to access them later on. You can create file folders on your hard drive, floppy disk or zip disk. There are many ways to create folders on your computer; here's one of the easiest ways of doing it.

Begin by thinking of a topic for which you'll need a folder.

It's helpful to create a folder for each topic for which you expect to have many associated files. For example, you might create a folder for each of your classes, another for correspondence with friends, and another for correspondence with family, and even additional folders within those topics if, for example, you have a lot of correspondence with one particular family member.

 


Right click on the Start button. The Start button is typically located at the bottom left of your screen.

 


On the pop-up window, click on Explore. This will open up Windows Explorer.

 


Left click on the drive letter where you want to create the new folder.
The drive letter is located in the folder window on the left side of the screen.


 


Left click on File. File is located at the top of your screen on the left side.

 


On the drop down window, left click on New.

 


On the next window, left click on Folder.

 


A new folder will appear with a temporary name.

 


Type a name for the new folder, and then press Enter.
