OK, Let's get You Organized!!
If you do not know how to open your "Explore" Window and find things,
Please Click Here
Keeping things (files) like E-Mails, photos, or pictures and stuff you "pick up" on the net all in the same place, will eventually make it hard for you to find things.
Avoid this now. Before you have to start moving a bunch of stuff.
We are going to make some folders under "My Documents", because you know you can find it under your "Start", but you can put a folder wherever you need it.
I, personally, keep all of my files under "Program Files". I would recommend one or the other.
For this example, we are going to use "My Documents", and make you a "Personal" folder, with folders in it for various things.
Then, believe it or not, you'll be able to put and find things there when you want them. Won't that be nice?
First, "Double Click" Your Harddrive so you can see "My Documents" in the left hand pane. Then click once to "Highlite" it.
Go up to "File"
Then "New"
Then "Folder"
In Your Right Hand Pane, you should see "New Folder" highlited, and almost moving. Type Your Name and hit "Enter".
If it saves as "New Folder" before you can name it, just "right click" your mouse on the "New Folder", and go down to "Rename", click and type in what you want.
You just made a folder for yourself.
Pat Yourself on the back, and let's move on.
Now, "Double Click" on the folder you just made. It should now be in the left hand pane.
Click on it once to "Highlite" it.
Go up to "File"
Then "New"
Then "Folder"
This time, name it "Photos" or E-Mail, or whatever it is you "collect" the most of.
You can "Highlite" "Your Folder" again, and put as many folders in it as you deem necessary.
If you want, you can add folders to folders, by putting them in the left hand pane, and repeating the steps. Name each folder you want. Make folders for everyone using the PC.
You can do this in Favorites. Keep your Favorites Organized. You may want to keep each Person's favorites seperate.
