Each folder can all have several subdirectories. I prefer to use My Documents as a receiving and holding area, and move data from My Documents to a more structured set of folders on the D: drive.įor example, you can set up a series of folders on D: called audio files, documents, downloads, graphics, music, my photos, my videos, photos, spreadsheets, videos, web pages, work and so on, depending on the kinds of files you create or save. Separate folders may become too large to back up to CD or even DVD. However, if you take a lot of photos and use My Documents to store music and music, it can become very large. The idea behind having all your personal files in one folder is that it's easier to back up. If you happen to save complete web pages, each one will create its own subfolder, so the system can soon become unwieldy. The problem with My Documents is that it starts with a number of subfolders (My Pictures, My Stationery, My Videos) and you will probably add many more. You have to click the Location tab to find the Move button.
Windows 7 works in a similar way except that Documents Properties has half a dozen tabs. Click the plus sign (+) next to My Computer to show all your drives, then click the + for the D: drive, select your new folder (such as D:\Documents) and click OK. This will bring up a dialogue box headed "Select a destination". This opens a properties sheet called My Documents Properties.Ĥ. Right-click on My Documents to get a drop-down menu and select the bottom item, Properties. Now, the top entry in the right-hand pane is My Documents, the folder you want to move. Click in the left-hand pane, and select Desktop, the top entry in the list. Type in the folder name you have chosen (eg Documents) and press Return/Enter.ģ.
You can either do this via the File menu, or by right-clicking in the right-hand pane and selecting New then Folder from the drop-down menu. Double-click the D: drive icon to open that drive, and create a folder called 'documents' (or 'my documents', or whatever).
You should now be able to see all your hard disk drives and any optical drives (Blu-ray, DVD or CD-Rom) in the right-hand pane.Ģ. Run Windows Explorer, go to the left-hand pane, and select My Computer.
