Steps to follow:

We will begin with a simple example.

Let’s say you want to organize your hard drive into folders for word-processing files, spreadsheet files, and database files. Therefore, you will wish to create three folders.

1. Open Windows Explorer

Choose Start/Programs/Windows Explorer
2. Select your hard drive by double-clicking on the hard-drive icon.
   (Usually this is drive C:.)
3. Select File/New from the Windows Explorer menu.
4. Select Folder from the list that appears.
5. (A folder icon appears. Now you need to type the name you wish to assign this folder.)
6. Type Word (or any other name you wish to assign this folder) and
   press enter.
   (Now you have a folder on the hard drive (drive C:) to hold all your word processing documents.)
7. Follow steps 2 through 6, but this time give your new folder a name for spreadsheet files.
8. Follow steps 2 through 6, but this time give your new folder a name for database files.
