Hi Seoirse,
Well yes, I had a nice Christmas here if it was a little quite. I hope you
had a nice one yourself. Below are my instructions for creating a folder on
your computer. In this case the thumb drive which you mentioned.
(Setting up the thumb or external drive)
Usually when you plug in one of these thumb or pen drives or even memory
sticks as some people call them they place a drive letter in the "my
computer area" of your PC.
Go in here and see if there is a drive letter such as "E: or any letters
higher than this such as perhaps F:". These letters are typically the drive
letter that your computer assigns to any external drives you may have such
as your thumb drive.
Once you have determined the correct letter associated to your drive, arrow
down to it and hit enter key. This will bring you into the drive itself
where you can place files or folders or even create folders which we are
going to do.
(Creating the folder on the external drive)
1. When in the place you wish to create the folder, press keys, "alt +
f" to open the file menu.
2. Arrow down to "new" and right arrow inhere.
3. From the "new sub menu" choose "folder" and press enter on it.
4. Now you will be prompted to give it a new name because by default it
will just call itself "new folder" so just type over that to give it a name
of your choice.
5. Press the enter key when done typing in the new name and you have a
new folder on the external drive ready to use in the same way you use any
other folders on your PC.
Seoirse also asks:
how do i transfer an email with an attachment from my deleted items, which i
deleted by mistake, to this folder
I think what you are asking Seoirse is how do you put the file attached to
the deleted email into the new folder you created, would that be right?. If
so here is what I would do.
1. Go into the deleted items and arrow down to the email which has the
file attached to it.
2. Press enter on it to open up the email.
3. Now go into the file menu of the open email and arrow down to "save
attachments". And press enter.
4. You will now be prompted to save the attachment into usually the "my
documents folder". Just tab to the save button and press spacebar to do
this.
5. Now close up the email and email program and go into my documents on
your desktop and arrow down to the saved attachment.
6. Control + c to copy. Close up the my documents folder
7. Go into my computer and arrow down to the external drive then press
enter key.
8. Arrow down to your newly created folder and enter to open.
9. Control + v to paste the file in there.
Yes I know a little long winded but I feel it is perhaps the most familiar
way to do it.
Paul.
