    Task 4 - Creating Folders Click to see more

    Getting organised by creating folders :

    • The best way to organise your work while you are at Knole is to use folders.
    • For example, you may create a folder called "Computer Science" or "ICT" and inside this folder you might add more folders for each topic.
    • Lets create some folders by following the step-by-step instructions below:
      Do it
      1. Open File explorer, then go to your Home Drive
      2. Double Click on it so you are inside of it.
      3. Now create a folder by clicking on the new folder icon. See the image below to help you.
      4. newFolder.png
      5. Rename your folder from the default name "New folder" to "Year 7" by clicking on it once, then replacing the text with Year 7, then hit enter.
