Hi, Would someone please tell me: 1---how do I make a folder and name it? (I have one that's named "photosfortollefsonstorybook"...in the "my documents" list....but clicking on it does nothing.... of course there is nothing in it, see question 2.....should I delete it and start over again??) 2---How do I get my photos into this folder? (I have a lot of photos that are just in "My Documents" and some that I need to scan in and place in this new folder....) 3---I would really like to put photos in this new folder and then put the whole folder onto a CD ... I've lost them before and had to re-scan, etc...don't care to do that again.... little, tiny baby steps on all 3, please, I have never put something INTO a folder...and I don't remember how I made the folder described in question 1....I see that folks have different folders for this, that, and everything else....what I've read seems to discuss "WEB" folders"???? Thanks, a bunch! NancyT
Pictures are better than words, Nancy so here is a site that sets out the steps to create a folder In Windows, all nicely illustrated: http://www.learnthat.com/tutorials/learn412.htm This one will give you some good illustrated ideas on managing files and folders on your computer: http://www.coolnerds.com/XP/winExp/winExp.htm And in case they don't mention it, to "rename" a folder, just right click the folder and from the context menu select RENAME. Then type the new name in the little box that appears. Lance P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
