How to put documents in a folder on Windows
You wish to know how to put documents in a folder on windows? Before I explain how to do this, let me briefly remind you how to create a folder, if you haven't already. To do this, you need to right click on an "empty" spot in the desktop (or the window of File Explorer/Explore Resources) and select the items New> Folder from the menu that opens. Once the folder has been created, you can proceed to insert documents in it by following the instructions below.
If you need further explanations regarding the creation of a new folder on Windows, do not hesitate to consult the in-depth analysis I have dedicated to the topic.
Drag and Drop
One of the easiest ways to put documents into a folder is to do the Drag and Drop, which consists of three steps: select one or more files, drag them to the desired folder and drop them. The operation is so simple to carry out that there would be no need to add more to what has just been said, but still let me show you in detail how to proceed.
First, go to the location where the files of your interest are present and select the ones you want to move to another folder. To select the documents of your interest, do left click in an “empty” spot on the desktop or in the folder window (if you have it already open) and drag the cursor towards the direction in which the other items you want to select are.
If you need to select documents that are nearby, you can also click on one of them, press the key Shift on the keyboard and use the directional arrows (up, down, left or right) to highlight others. To select documents that are not close to each other, instead, click on each of them while holding the key Ctrl on the keyboard. If, on the other hand, you want to select all the files contained in a folder, press simultaneously Ctrl + A.
Once you have selected the documents you are interested in, press and hold the left button mouse on the selection made and drag them to the folder where you intend to insert them. Easier than that?
Copy and paste
Instead of moving documents from one folder to another, you want copy and paste them? To proceed, even in this case you must go to the location where the files of your interest are present and select the ones you intend to put in another folder.
To select the documents of your interest, do left click in an “empty” spot on the desktop or in the folder window (if you already have it open) and drag the cursor in the direction of the other items to select.
If you need to select documents that are nearby, click on one of them, press the key Shift on the keyboard and use the directional arrows (up, down, left or right) to highlight others. To select documents that are not close to each other, click on each one while holding the key Ctrl on the keyboard. If, on the other hand, you want to select all the documents in a folder, press the keys at the same time Ctrl + A.
After selecting the documents of your interest, right click on the selection made and select the item Copy from the menu that opens (or press the keys simultaneously Ctrl + C). Then right click on the icon folder where you want to paste them (or in an "empty" point of the latter, if you have already opened it) and select the item Paste from the context menu (or press the keys simultaneously Ctrl + V).
Create a new document
Instead of moving an existing document to a folder, you need the create a new one? In this case, to succeed, all you have to do is open the folder in question, do click destroy in an "empty" point of its window and select the items New> [document type] from the menu that opens (eg. New> Text Document).
