*Creating and managing files and folders -  When you write an essay or paint something on a paper, you would like to keep it for future, right? You would probably put it in a hard bound folder.

 +
*#To create new folder right click on your mouse and click on "New Folder". Rename the folder and save your files in it. You can also create many sub folders  within that.
 +
*#Always give meaningful names for folders, so that you can easily search for them later.
 +
*#You can move folders, and files across folders.
 +
*#You can create a file by opening a application, and creating a new file to prepare your content. You can create text documents with LibreOffice Writer, Images with Tux Paint etc.
