Making a New Folder

[David]

Hello.
This might seem to be a dumb question but I can't make a
new folder in the E drive. I know how to make a new
folderthat saves to me C drive ( Right-click on
desktop>new>folder ) but not so it saves to my E drive.

If somebody could answer that it would be great!

What type of drive is your E Drive? Another hard drive? CDROM drive? Zip
Drive? Network Drive? Other?

Usually you open the E drive from My COmputer or Windows Explorer,
right-click on the background of the window and select New->Folder. (Or from
the menu at the top File -> New -> Folder..)

Okay, so I gather that you have created a new folder using the Windows
Explorer. And you are using Windows XP and the NT File System. And,
you have a regular IDE hard-drive.

You have created a new folder. That's wonderful. What is it that you
expect it to do when you click on it?

A folder has a limited number of functionality options. You can store
stuff in it. You can copy it to another folder. You can move it into
another folder. You can rename it. You can delete it. That is about
all you can do with a folder.

It doesn't seem that MarySNC is aware that a new folder has possibly been
created and where it is/can be located.

A possible good place to read up on this is on the following site:-

Or someone may know of a better one.

I just want the folder to show up in my window..
I am trying to save things in the window.. I click on my little New folder
Icon and it does nothing..
SO then I have to click with right button on my mouse and make new folder
there..
That is what I am doing with it.
When I down load stuff I like to make it folders..
Thanks..

The folder is probably being added when you click the New Folder icon.
Scroll to the end of the list in the current dialog box (Save, Save As
or Open) and you should see it. In most cases, XP will add new items
to the end of a current list instead of automatically sorting it.
