Create a folder for your downloaded files

When you download a file, you'll need to put it into a folder on your desktop. Putting these files into the same folder (or into category folders, like "videos" or "music") will help you easily find and use them.

To create a folder using Windows:

• Right-click anywhere on the desktop.

• A pop-up menu will appear. Highlight New, then select Folder.

• Type a word such as "Downloads" into the dialog box, and press Enter on your keyboard. The new folder will appear on your desktop.

To create a folder using a Macintosh:

• From the Apple menu at the top-left corner of the screen, choose Control Panels, then choose Internet.

• A dialog box will appear. Click on the Web preferences tab.

• Click on the Select button.

• Another box will appear, which will contain a list of your available drives. Choose your hard drive and click Open.

• Click the Create New Folder button and give it a name such as "Downloads."

• Click the Create button and then close the dialog boxes by clicking the box at the top-left of each window.

Note: If you're using a system prior to MacOS 8.0, create a folder by double-clicking on your hard drive, then selecting New Folder from the File menu at the top-left corner of your screen. An untitled folder will be created. Highlight its name by clicking on it once, then change the name by typing in a new one.
