INTRODUCTION

To help you keep your documents organized, Windows sets up a special folder called My Documents. You can view the contents using the My Documents command. When you organize your own documents, it's a good idea to use the My Documents folder, creating subfolders within this folder to store your work.

TIP

Add Folders

You can add folders to the My Documents folder. To do so, see Task 10, "Creating a New Folder."

TIP

Shortcut

If you have added the My Documents icon to your desktop, you can double-click this icon to open this folder. See Part 10 for information on customizing the desktop.
