Besides creating and moving file and folders around from your desktop, Windows has other options. One way is inside most programs. Whenever you open an existing file, create a new file or save a file, you use a dialog box that looks something like this:

1. This is the Save As dialog box. If you choose Save from the File menu (or hit Ctrl + S), Windows will add whatever work you have done to the same disk storage space (on a hard drive, floppy, or whatever drive you started with) without asking for any more information. Save As assumes you are putting your work in a new storage location; so, it needs information about where you want it to go, etc.
2. Save In shows where the work will go if you don't make a change. If you are starting a brand new file (one that you have not saved before), it will either go to My Documents or to the last place you saved that kind of file. If you are using Save As on a file that you opened (instead of a new file), Windows will probably assume that you want to save the file in the same folder where you found the original. If this isn't the case, see #3.
3. The Save In dropdown menu. Click the down arrow to see what storage areas are available in your computer.

• Create a new folder by clicking the button labled 6.
• Move a file or folder inside another folder that you see in the list by dragging and dropping.
• Go up to the next folder level by clicking the button labeled 4.
• Open a folder by double clicking it.
• Rename a folder by right clicking on it and choosing Rename from the menu.
