Windows Explorer is a powerful tool used in organizing files and folders in the computer system.

An organized file structure will allow you to locate files faster. The My Documents folder on your computer gives you one, central location in which to place all of your personal files. That way you don’t accidently delete the important files needed to run your computer.

1.    Click on Start menu, a pop-up menu appears

2.    Point to all programs, a pull-up menu appears

3.    Point to accessories, a drop down menu appears

4.    Click on windows explorer

To make a new folder, click on Make a new folder one time, type the name of your new folder, then hit the Enter key on your keyboard. Drag and drop your files into the appropriate folder.
