Today, am going to discuss with you a simple but difficult task to some people. Yes it is simple only to those that have done it before and difficult to newbies. I remembered the first time I was taken to register in computer school, wow, it was really fun and same time somehow scary because holding the mouse initially causes my hand to shake. Don't laugh me cos now am no more a novice.
So don't think that this post is useless cos many people are out there searching for this.
Have you ever had the mind to find ways to do something that seems to be quite simple and yet makes you look like novice? If yes worry not cos you are not alone.
Some few days back, a friend of mine bought a brand new laptop and wanted to copy his pictures from phone to laptop which he was able to achieved. After successful copying of the pictures, he needed to organize these pictures into a unique folder on the desktop but he couldn't and this is where he had to call me to help him out.

That is why I want to share with you these two steps on how to create a folder on laptop or desktop computer.
A computer folder, is a directory used for managing and storing of files, subfolders, and shortcuts on a computer.

and the folder will be displayed, with a default name "New folder."
But you can change this default name to anything of your choice. To change the name, type the new name for the folder and then press Enter.
- Open the windows explorer
