Beginners Guide On How To Set Up Your Own Computer Files
There is not much point in having a computer it you are not able to use it
. There are many people who are afraid to use computer software because they have the belief that it is too difficult to learn and do. It is this belief that prevents people from learning in the first place. In most cases learning computer software and applications such as Microsoft Windows is easy. It just takes practice.
This article will show you how to create and name files on your computer. Electronic folders serve the same purpose as a real life paper or plastic folder. It is a way of storing documents. On a computer you can name them and organise them in any order that suits you.
This is a simple procedure to do as follows:
Step 1
Go to the Start button and right click with your mouse. A dialogue box will appear with a list of options. Choose Explore.
Step 2
After clicking on the Explorer option the Explorer window will appear on your screen. Scan your eyes to the left of the window and you will see the Folders list. Choose a folder you would want to create a new folder in. For this example we will choose the Music Folder.
Step 3
Once you have clicked on the Music folder look to the top left hand side of the window and you will see the Explorer tool bar. The first command on the tool bar is Organise which you want to click on. In the menu you then click the New Folder command. When you click the New Folder a new folder will appear on your screen. This will be given the default name of new folder. You will notice that the name of the folder is highlighted. This means that you can change the name of the folder to any name that you want.
Step 4
The next stage is to give your new folder a name that you can remember and is relevant or related to the information that will be contained within it. When the New Folder text is highlighted type in the name that you want. You can click anywhere outside of the new folder to save the changes you have made.
And that is all you have to do. It is quite easy to do. It is recommended that you practice this a few times so that you get use to it. The more you practice the easier it will become to the point that it will become second nature.
