Add a Folder in Windows
After the installation process of the Microsoft developed Windows operating system is complete, you will notice that it has set up a bunch of folders by default. The easiest one to notice is the My Documents folder – it is displayed right on the desktop alongside My Computer, My Network Place and the Recycle Bin. What is a folder good for? A folder is a digital container that gathers together all sorts of files. You could compare it to a child’s toy chest. Instead of being scattered all over the house, the child’s toys are neatly stored away in the chest. In this comparison, the folder is the chest and the toys are the files.
