General Tips - Folders

  1. Where to save? Folders: If left to its own, the software saves all files you create to the folder “My Documents”. If the files are small in number this is fine, but if you have a larger number, it's a good idea to create Folders for different purposes. Thus you might have a separate folder for, major areas of your work or home front, your family, your hobbies, your personal matters etc. Do give meaningful and logical names. Also remember that when you want to open this file you would have to know the folder name yourself.
  2. Make or create a new Folder: This is actually quite simple, you would be having a small image or icon on your computer styled “My Documents”. Just take your mouse to it and click on the right side of your mouse. A whole lot of options will be displayed, select “New”, then “Folder”. On its own the name given is “New Folder”, then “New Folder2” which is not really helpful. So immediately change its name to a more logical one.
  3. Right clicking on it allows you to rename the folder.
You can create New Folders not just in "My Documents" but also on the Desktop, within another folder, or anywhere else you want, using the same method.
