On your desktop (the screen that opens when you power up your
computer), there is an icon (a graphic symbol and title of a program
or feature) called "My Computer". Inside are all of the contents of
your computer! You will be able to choose from the Hard drive
(most often the C: drive); the Floppy drive (usually the A: drive); or
the CD Rom drive (often the D: drive).
Let's take a look:
Step-by-Step
>1
Double-click on "My Computer".
>2
Double-click the C: drive.
Here you can see all the files and folders that have previously been
stored on your computer which brings us to that subject:
Make New Folder
Before you try to save embroidery designs onto your computer, you
should make a folder with a recognizable name.
Step-by-Step
>1
(With the C: drive still open) select "File/New (a fly-out box
will open)/Folder". You will see a new folder created.
>2
In the slot (which is awaiting a title), type the name of your
new folder (perhaps your own name).
>3
Hit the "Enter" key (on the keyboard) to confirm the name.
You should now be able to see your new folder on the C: drive.
Copy files
If you want to make duplicate or backup files, you will need to copy
a file.
Step-by-Step
>1
Select "Back" at the top/left of your screen. This takes you
back one step (from the C: drive).
