Emptying The Recycle Bin; Creating Folders - HP Compaq Presario,Presario 5000 User Manual

Deleted files sent to the
Recycle Bin use space on
the computer hard drive.
To free up some space,
periodically empty the
Recycle Bin.
You can create a folder in
which to organize and store
related document files. For
example, you can create a
folder named Budget2000.
Store all your financial
files, such as expenses,
profits, taxes, and so forth,
in the Budget2000 folder.
Tip
Another way to create a new
folder is to click the folder or
drive (in the left panel of
Windows Explorer) in which
you want to place the new
folder. Then right-click a
blank area in the right panel,
point to New on the pop-up
menu and click Folder.
