CHAPTER 2: Using Windows Vista

Creating folders
Folders are much like the folders in a file cabinet. They can contain files and other folders.
Files are much like paper documents—letters, spreadsheets, and pictures—that you keep on your
notebook. In fact, all information on a notebook is stored in files.
To create a folder:
1
Click ( Start ), then click Computer on the Start menu.
2
Double-click the drive where you want to put the new folder. Typically, Local Disk (C:) is
your hard drive.
3
If you want to create a new folder inside an existing folder, double-click the existing folder.
4
Click Organize , then click New Folder . The new folder is created.
5
Type a name for the folder, then press E
NTER
. The new folder name appears by the folder
icon.
For information about renaming folders, see “Shortcuts” on page 19 .
Copying and moving files and folders
The skills you need to copy and move files are called copying , cutting , and pasting .
When you copy and paste a file or folder, you place a copy of the file or folder on the Windows
clipboard , which temporarily stores it. Then, when you decide what folder you want the copy
to go in (the destination folder), you paste it there.
When you cut and paste a file or folder, you remove the file or folder from its original location
and place the file or folder on the Windows clipboard. When you decide where you want the
file or folder to go, you paste it there.

Important
The clipboard stores whatever you cut or copy until you cut or copy again. Then the clipboard
contains the new information only. Therefore, you can paste copies of a file or folder into more
than one place, but as soon as you copy or cut a different file or folder, the original file or folder
is deleted from the clipboard.
