Creating a new folder with a text file inside
Folders are an essential part of organizing and managing files on a computer. They act as containers for storing related files and make it easier to locate and access them. In this article, we will learn how to create a new folder and add a text file inside it.
Step 1: Open File Explorer
To create a new folder, we need to open File Explorer, which is the default file management tool in Windows. You can do this by clicking on the folder icon in the taskbar or by pressing the Windows + E keys on your keyboard.
Step 2: Navigate to the location where you want to create the new folder
In File Explorer, navigate to the location where you want to create the new folder. It can be on your desktop, in a specific drive, or inside an existing folder.
Step 3: Right-click and select "New"
Once you have reached the desired location, right-click on an empty space and select "New" from the context menu. This will open a sub-menu with various options.
Step 4: Choose "Folder" from the sub-menu
From the sub-menu, select "Folder" to create a new folder in the current location.
Step 5: Name the new folder
A new folder will appear with the default name "New folder". You can rename it by clicking on the folder's name and typing in the desired name. For this tutorial, let's name the folder "My Documents".
Step 6: Open the new folder
Double-click on the new folder to open it. We will now create a text file inside this folder.
Step 7: Right-click and select "New"
Just like we did in Step 3, right-click on an empty space inside the folder and select "New" from the context menu.
Step 8: Choose "Text Document" from the sub-menu
This time, select "Text Document" from the sub-menu. This will create a blank text file inside the folder.
Step 9: Name the text file
As we did in Step 5, rename the text file by clicking on its name and typing in the desired name. Let's name it "My Notes".
Step 10: Open the text file
Double-click on the text file to open it. You can now start typing in your notes or copy and paste any text you want to save in this file.
Congratulations, you have successfully created a new folder and added a text file inside it. You can repeat these steps to create more folders and files as needed to keep your files organized.
It is important to note that you can also create folders and files using keyboard shortcuts. To create a new folder, press Ctrl + Shift + N, and to create a new text file, press Ctrl + N.
In conclusion, creating a new folder with a text file inside is a simple yet essential task in managing files on a computer. With this knowledge, you can easily organize and store your files in a structured manner, making it easier to find and access them whenever needed.
