Getting
Organized
Is
your My Documents folders getting so full that it's hard to find the
document you are looking for? Then maybe it's time you start using
folders to organize things. It's very easy to do and works for any
location on your computer, not just My Documents.
-
First,
open My Documents. (If you have Windows 2000 or XP a shortcut to
this folder is already on your desktop. If you have Windows 95,
you will need to go into My Computer, then C:, then you will see it.)
-
Then
you can either Right Click and choose New then Folder OR go to
File then to New then to Folder
-
Name
the folder whatever you want (i.e. Tests, Letters to Parents, E-mail
from the Principal, Newsletters) and hit enter.
-
Now
you can click on any file and drag it on top of the folder you just
created. When the folder is highlighted, you can 'drop' the file
and it will move into that folder.
Create
as many folders as you need. You can even open the folders you've
made and make folders inside those folders. This will make it much
easier to find things when you need them.
And
now when you are in Word and you are saving a document, you will see the
folders in My Documents and you can open them to save the file in the
appropriate place!
Many
