How to Create Folders on Your Computer
In order to keep your documents, artwork, web pages, and all of your artist activities organized on your computer, you need to make folders. And you don’t want to line your desktop with rows of folders, so you’ll need to create folders within other folders to build your artist filing system.
One of the fastest ways to make a folder is to right-click on your Desktop screen.
A list of options will pop open, scroll down to “New”, click, and it’ll open another list of options.
The first one is “Folder”, click on it and the list disappears with a new folder in it’s place.
The area under the Folder will be highlighted in blue and you can just start typing in the name your want for the New Folder.
Folders Inside Other Folders
The very first item in the list on the left under “file and folder Tasks,” shown next to the black arrow. Just click on the words “Make a new folder.”
Another method inside of folders; click on “File” in the top row of pull downs, the “New,” then “Folder” as shown below.
Now that you know how to make folders, you should give thought to organizing all of your art files. I keep all of my art folders inside one main folder that I call “Dee’s Art Stuff”. That way I have only one place I to .
It also makes it easier to make back-ups. Depending on the amount of activity you have, you should remember to maintain and update your Art folder back-up.
