Create a temporary folder (directory) on an external PC:
•
For Windows Explorer: Select File > New > Folder to create a new folder, then
rename it from “ New Folder ” to " temp " or another convenient, unused name.
Assuming " temp " works, a " c:\temp " folder should now be created.
Note: The drive letter c: is used in this example. Any valid writable drive letter
can be used.
•
For Windows Command-line: Click [Start] on the Windows taskbar, then click
the “ Run... ” icon (or, depending on Windows OS versions prior to Windows 95,
click the “ MS-DOS Prompt ” icon from the Main Menu). Then, to open a
Command-line window…
o
For Windows 95 or Windows 98 – Type “ command ”.
o
For any Windows OS versions later than Windows 98 – Type “ cmd ” or
“ command ”.
Alternately, from [Start], select All Programs > Accessories > Command
Prompt .
•
At the Command-line prompt (c:\>), type “ mkdir temp ” or “ md temp ” (without
quotes – mkdir and md stand for make directory ). This is the same as creating a
new folder from Windows Explorer. There should now be a " c:\temp " subdirectory
created (where c: is the drive letter used in this example).
