Creating a New Folder

When you first start using Windows 98 you may only create a few documents. However, the more files and folders you create, the more organized you will need to be. Sometimes you may want to create a folder within a folder. For example, you might create a Job Search folder in the My Documents folder.

To create a new folder in the My Documents folder:

• Double-click My Documents folder on the desktop.

• Choose File New Folder.

• A new folder, titled New Folder, appears in the window.
