Create new folder in root windows
To create a new folder in the root directory of a Windows system, you can follow these steps:
- Open File Explorer: You can do this by clicking on the File Explorer icon in the taskbar, or by pressing the Windows key + E.
- Navigate to the root directory: In the File Explorer window, click on the "This PC" or "Computer" icon in the left-hand menu to navigate to the root directory of your system. The root directory is usually represented by a drive letter (e.g. C:, D:, etc.).
- Right-click in the folder list: In the File Explorer window, right-click in the folder list (the area that displays the folders and files on your system).
- Select "New" > "Folder": From the context menu, select "New" and then "Folder" to create a new folder.
- Enter a name for the folder: In the "Create a new folder" dialog box, enter a name for your new folder and click "Create".
Alternatively, you can also create a new folder in the root directory by using the Command Prompt or PowerShell. To do this:
- Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell: You can do this by searching for "Command Prompt" or "PowerShell" in the Start menu, or by typing "cmd" or "powershell" in the Run dialog box (Windows key + R).
- Navigate to the root directory: Use the "cd" command to navigate to the root directory of your system. For example, to navigate to the C: drive, type "cd C:" and press Enter.
- Create a new folder: Use the "mkdir" command to create a new folder. For example, to create a new folder called "MyFolder", type "mkdir MyFolder" and press Enter.
For example:
C:\>mkdir MyFolder
This will create a new folder called "MyFolder" in the root directory of your system.
