Q. How do I make a folder and put files into it?
 

A. Three ways to make a folder:

  1. Click on File--New--Folder and name the folder.
  2. Right click in an open space on the desktop or open window--New--Folder and name the folder
  3. Look for an icon at the top of the window that looks like a manila folder with "sparks" at the upper right corner--that is a shortcut for making a new folder. Click on the icon and name your folder.

    If you do not get the folder named, the default is New Folder and if there is more than one called New Folder, there will be a number in parenthesis--New Folder (2). Right click on the name and select Rename to change the name.

Three ways to put files or folders into a folder:

  1. Click and Drag.
    Open My Documents (or wherever the files are that you want to put in the folder)>>select the files (highlight them by holding down a Shift key and clicking on them if they're next to each other or Ctrl key and clicking if they're not next to each other);
    >>Then put the mouse pointer anywhere in the highlighted area, hold down the right mouse button and drag them to the folder. When the folder changes color, you will be in the correct position to let up on the right mouse button. Select Move here and they should soon be flying from one place to the other.

  2. Copy and Paste.
    Select the same way as above, and then click Edit--Copy. Go to the folder and double click on it to open it; click on Edit--Paste.

  3. Save As.
    Open the file if it is a text file: or view it if it is a graphic, click on File--Save As... Locate the folder in the Save In: line, confirm that it has the Filename: and File type: you want and click on Save.


*If left or right mouse click is not designated, left click.
