A New Folder on the Mac Desktop

New Folder

One of the great things about being in the Mac interface is working with what other systems call the directory. Basic to working on the Desktop (what you see when you trun your computer on) is making a new folder for the stuff that you will be creating.

Make sure that the name in the right hand corner says Finder. You can command Q the program if it does not show finder. It might say Safari in the upper right corner or Firefox. You can click and drag down the drag down the column to Quit if you do not want to command Q.

With Finder visible in the upper left hand corner, click and drag down the choices until you see new folder. When this is visible and highlighted, let go. A new Folder will appear on your desktop. Find this new folder and change the name to something that you want.

Once this is done you are ready to drag files into it that you want to organize in this category. So click and hold on the name of the file and drag it into the new folder.

You can have many new folders and use them to organize your computer documents. Just repeat the procedure as outlined above and you can have as many as you have hard drive space.
