Do you know any other way of creating a folder?

b) Match the diagrams (a-d) with the instruction numbers from Exercise a):

c) Before reading the text below, try to answer the questions:

How is it possible to lose files on a computer?

Have you ever lost your information? Why?

d) Read the text quickly and match the headings (a-e) with the paragraphs (1-5):

a Saving existing files b Naming files c Saving new files d Defaults

1. Programs that let you create files or save data have a Save command, usually in the File menu. When you save a new file, the Save As dialog box appears (see below). You can let the computer decide the location, the file name and the format, or you can choose these settings yourself. There are many different file formats and they all have advantages and disadvantages. You can save a word-processing document as a web page, for example, or you can save digital photographs in a JPEG format, a TIFF format or many others.

2. The Save As command is the default command for any new document so the Save As dialog box appears even if you click Save. If you do not give a new document a file name in a word-processing program, the file name will usually default to the first line in the document. The default file name in graphics programs is usually ‘Untitled’.

3. If you work on an existing file and want to save changes, click Save, not Save As. You can use Save As to save an existing file in a different location, for example, in another drive or folder (using Save in) with a new name (using File name) or in a different format (using Save as type).

4. Having different folders helps you organize your files, but naming all the different files in one folder is not always easy. You should give files names that describe exactly what they contain so that you can find them easily.

e) Decide if the sentences are true (T) or false (F):

1 If you do not choose a location, a name, or a format when you save a new file, the computer will do it for you.

2 If you click Save on a new file, the Save As dialog box appears. 3 You can save files in one format only.

4 You can save existing files in more than one place on your computer. 5 The Save command only saves existing documents. 6 Most word-processing documents use ‘Untitled’ as the default name. 7 The Save As command cannot save existing documents.

8 Thinking of names for your files is easy.

f) Complete the sentences (1-6) with the words in bold and phrases in the text:

1 You can make back-up copies of_______ files on a floppy disk by using Save As.

2 I need a_______ camera because I want to save my pictures on my computer.

3 Graphics programs save files without names as _________by default.

4 Clicking _______will let you go to the A: drive, C: drive or D: drive.

5 Programs have _______ settings for all kinds of functions.

6 Click________ in the Save As dialog box to change the file format.

is there more than one user account on this computer?

if so, go to the other user account to see if the issues can be replicated there. If there is no other user account create one to test.

This problem is often related to a corrupted user profile.

When you open ‘Properties’ for the ‘Desktop’ folder in your ‘Username’ and select ‘Location’ does it show as in image below:

If not select ‘Restore Default’ (blank out is your ‘Username’, even if it appears correct still select. (worth a try).

Try create a new folder from desktop.

If that does not work try (suggestion):

Rename current desktop folder to ‘Desktop1’ > create a new ‘Desktop’ folder > try to create new folder from desktop.

When you click on Desktop from the left panel in File explorer (not desktop in quick access or under This PC) what happens when you click on New folder from the ribbon. Also as a workaround that may work, in File explorer click on Documents then from the ribbon click on New folder then right click on the new folder and from the context menu click on Send to and select Desktop(shortcut)
