Creating a folder on the desktop
 
1.

Right-click on the desktop.

At the top of the flyout menu, you will notice options to create either a folder or a shortcut. Beneath the divider, you have a list of other file types which can be created. Other than the first two choices, your list will differ from mine. This list is based on what software you have installed.

 
2. Click Folder.
 
3. Upon clicking Folder, Windows will add a folder to your desktop. When the folder is first added to your desktop, the folder name is highlighted.
 
4. Type a new folder name (while the name is selected). This replaces the previous folder name.
 
5.

Strike the enter key to confirm your folder name.

If you accidentally strike the enter key before typing the folder name, press F2 at the top of your keyboard.
