The skill of creating new folders in Windows is generally taken for granted and we presume that everyone knows how to do this. The funny thing is, that not everyone knows how to make a new folder, or even move and copy them. Mastering this easy task will enable you to organize your computer and help you manage your files easily.
Copying, moving, and creating new folders involves using your mouse buttons, both left and right. Right clicking while your mouse hovers over an item or area will usually bring up a menu to choose a task. The left click is usually used to select.
Creating a new folder
- Open My documents by choosing it from the start menu in the bottom left corner.
- Right click your mouse in the blank space.
- A menu will appear.
- Choose New from the menu.
- Then choose New Folder.
Copy and Move a folder
- Open My documents by choosing it from the start menu in the bottom left corner.
- Find the folder that you want to move.
- Left click on the folder once to make it blue.
- Then Right click your mouse on top of the folder and a menu will appear.
- Choose copy from the menu. Now a copy of the folder will be on your clipboard.
- Find where you want to place the folder.
- Right click in the blank space and choose paste from the menu.
Notes on copying, moving, creating new folders:
- When you copy a folder the original will still be where it was. If you want to remove the folder and move it to another location, choose to cut instead of copy.
- To select more than one folder to copy Hold down CTRL and click the mouse on the folders you want to select. As long as you hold the CTRL key down you can keep adding folders to your selection.
- When you create new folders you should name them with something that describes what will be kept in that folder. Naming new folders, new folder 1 and new folder 2 will not help with organizing your computer files.
