Creating a folder
Creating a Folder
Folders are good to have because you will need to organize the types of files that you keep on your hard-drive. Just like you have certain places that you keep things in your house, the same will need to be done on your computer. When you learn to create, rename, delete, move and copy folders, you will be exercising file management skills. Below are the steps for creating a folder in the Documents folder. You can start in any folder that you wish once you learn the following steps.
Creating a Folder

- Press the letter D until you hear Documents folder.
- Now enter to open that folder.
- Press the applications key.
- Up arrow to Show more options and press the spacebar.
