  1. To create a new folder, right-click where you want the folder to appear (on the desktop, or in any desktop window except My Computer) and choose New—>Folder from the menu. The new folder appears with its temporary “New Folder” name highlighted. Type a new name for the folder and then press Enter.
  2. As you navigate through you folders, remember the Backspace key. Each time you press it, you return to the parent window of the one you are currently viewing—the one that contains the previous folder. Pressing the Alt key with the right and left arrow keys serves as back and forward buttons. Use this powerful shortcut to move backward or forward through the list of windows most recently opened.
  3. You can move or copy files by dragging their icon into an open window or directly onto a disk or folder icon.
