Creating folders
Folders are much like the folders in a file cabinet. They can contain files and

Files are much like paper documents—letters, spreadsheets, and pictures—that
you keep on your computer. In fact, all information on a computer is stored
in files.
To create a folder:
1 Click Start, then click My Computer on the Start menu.
2 Double-click the drive or folder, for example the 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
Show the contents of this drive.
