Creating Folders

Saving Documents" in Chapter 6.

Nest folders deeply. If you create a shallow or "flat" folder structure, you're forced to use long, descriptive filenames rather than succinct ones. A flat structure also makes you fill folders with so many subfolders that it's hard to discern the structure quickly.

Ignore file types. Store all related documents in the same project folder regardless of the programs that created them.

Reduce clutter. Don't store documents on the desktop. Reserve your desktop for only shortcuts to your pending projects. In general, don't put anythingeven shortcutsin the root C:\ folder.

To create a folder:

1. In Windows Explorer, pick a location for a new folder.

2. Choose File > New > Folder.

or

Right-click an empty area in the right pane; then choose New > Folder (Figure 5.29 ).

Figure 5.29. You can create a folder inside another folder, on the desktop, at the root of a hard disk, or on a USB flash drive or floppy.

In the task pane, click Make a New Folder.

3. Type a name for the new folder; then press Enter.

You can use the Cut, Copy, and Paste keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V) while editing.
