When it comes to computers, the folder is the backbone of organization. Folders help you separate, label, and move files with ease. Before you can utilize this basic function of a computer, though, you have to know how to create one.
-
1
Open File Explorer. File Explorer is an application built in to Windows that allows you to manage all of the files and folders on your computer and devices connected to it.
-
2
Find the location where you want to create your folder. If you are going to be accessing the files often, then you might want to consider creating the folder on your desktop. Otherwise, your Documents folder should do.

-
3
Create the folder. To create the folder, right-click on a blank spot and select New and then Folder.
-
4
Name the folder. Type in a preferred name for the folder.
-
5
Fill the folder. After this you can drag any type of file that you want to organize into your brand new folder. You can then double click the folder at any time to access those files.
- You can also place another folder into your folder.

-
1
Open the Command Prompt. You can start the Command Prompt by pressing ⊞ Win+R and typing cmd into the Run box. If you are using Windows 8, you can also press ⊞ Win+X and select Command Prompt from the menu.
-
2
Navigate to where you want the folder to be. Use the Command Prompt navigation commands to open the location that you want your folder to reside in.
-
3
Create a single folder. To create a folder in your current location, type mkdir foldername and press ↵ Enter. You can open your new folder by typing cd foldername.
-
4
Create nested directories. You can create a set of directories inside each other with one command. This is useful if you are building a directory tree that you’re going to populate later. Add the -p flag to your mkdir command to add multiple directories nested in each other. For example mkdir -p VacationImagesFavorites would create the Vacation directory in your current location, with the Images directory inside, and the Favorites directory located inside the Images directory.
-
5
Copy files into your new folder. Once you have your folder created, you can start populating it with files. See this guide for details on copying files.

There are multiple ways to create or add a folder, subfolder, directory, and subdirectory on a computer. The methods for doing so depend on the operating system or where the directory is being created. Select a link below for steps on creating a directory or folder in each major operating system.
Creating a folder in Microsoft Windows
There are a few ways to create a folder in Microsoft Windows, generally depending on where you want the new folder to be placed. To proceed, select a method from the list below or check out each section individually.
- My Computer or Windows Explorer
- Windows desktop
- Create a new folder using a keyboard shortcut
- Windows command line
My Computer or Windows Explorer
- Press the Windows key+E to open Windows Explorer.
- On the left side of the window, select the drive or folder where you want to create the new folder; for example, the C: drive. Or, you can create a folder in the root directory.
- In Windows 11, click the New option in the menu bar and select Folder in the drop-down menu.
In Windows 8 and 10, on the Home tab, click the New folder icon.
In Windows 7 and earlier, in the file menu bar, click File and select Folder in the drop-down menu.
Tip
In all versions of Windows, you can also right-click on a blank portion of the folder, select New, and then Folder from the drop-down menu.
Note
If you’re using Windows 7 or earlier, and do not see the file menu bar at the top of Windows Explorer, press Alt to make it visible.
Windows desktop
- Navigate to the Windows desktop. You can quickly do this with the keyboard shortcut Windows key+D.
- Right-click any blank portion of the desktop.
- In the menu that appears (like that shown in the picture), click New and then Folder.
- Once the new folder appears, type a name for it and then press Enter.
Create a new folder using a keyboard shortcut
While in Windows Explorer, you can press Ctrl+Shift+N to create a new folder without using the mouse.
Windows command line
See the following MS-DOS and Windows command line user section to create a directory in the Windows command line.
Creating a directory in MS-DOS and Windows Command Prompt
Tip
It is more appropriate to use the term «directory» instead of «folder» when referring to the command line.
To create a directory in MS-DOS or the Windows Command Prompt (cmd), use the md or mkdir MS-DOS command. For example, below, we are creating a new directory called «hope» in the current directory.
mkdir hope
You can also create multiple new directories in the current one with the md command. In the following example, we are creating three new directories, called «user1,» «user2,» and «user3,» in the current directory.
md user1 user2 user3
If you want to create a directory with spaces, you need to surround the directory name with quotes. In the example below, we create a «my example directory» in the current directory.
md "my example directory"
To create a directory in the parent directory without first moving to that directory, you can use the command below. The example below moves back one directory to create the «example» directory.
md ..example
To create a subdirectory in a different directory without moving to it, use a command similar to the example below. This command creates a «test» directory in the hope directory.
mkdir hopetest
Tip
Once a directory is created, you can use the cd command to change and move to that directory.
To make a directory in another drive without moving to that drive, use a similar command to the example below. The following command creates an «example» directory on the F: drive. (The drive letter «f» should be substituted for the actual drive letter of the disk where you’re creating the folder: «c», «d», etc.)
md f:example
- How to use the Windows command line (DOS).
- How to get to an MS-DOS prompt or Windows command line.
Create a directory with a batch file
A batch file consists of one or more commands that are entered into the command line. Therefore, you can use any examples from the section above in a batch file to create a new folder.
Creating a directory in Linux, Unix, and their variants
Tip
It’s traditional to call it a «directory» instead of «folder» in the command line, but both terms refer to the same thing.
To create a directory in Linux, Unix, or any variant, use the mkdir command. For example, below, we are creating a new directory called «hope» in the current directory.
mkdir hope
Tip
To explicitly specify that the new directory should be located in the current directory, you can prefix its name with a dot-slash («./»):
mkdir ./hope
To create a directory whose parent directories do not yet exist (creating the parent directories in the process), use the -p option with mkdir:
mkdir -p hope/files/documents
Tip
Once the new directory is created, you can use the cd command to change and move to that directory. To remove the directory (if it is empty), use the rmdir command. If you want to change the permissions of a directory after it is created, use the chmod command.

Creating a folder and directory in Microsoft Windows 3.X
File Manager
- Open File Manager
- Open the folder where you want to place the new folder, and on the top menu of File Manager, select File and then new folder.

Creating a folder in macOS
Desktop folder
- Navigate to the macOS desktop.
- Right-click (tap two fingers on the trackpad or multi-touch mouse) any blank space on the desktop.
- Select New Folder from the drop-down menu that appears.
- Type a name for the folder and then press Return.

- Open Finder and navigate to the directory where you want to create the folder.
- Click File in the upper-left corner of the screen.
- Select New Folder in the drop-down menu that appears.
- Type a name for the folder and then press Return.
Tip
Users may also press the keyboard shortcut Command+Shift+N to create a new folder.
Tip
To create a directory in the Terminal command line, see the Linux steps.
Do your files and documents need better organization? If you group related files into distinct folders on your laptop or desktop, it’ll always be easy to find what you need. You can also change the icon size to make it more visually pleasing. Here are a few ways to quickly create a new folder in Windows 10, and after you master this, learn how to password protect a folder in Windows 10.
Method #1: Create a new folder with a keyboard shortcut
The fastest way to create a new folder in Windows is with the CTRL+Shift+N shortcut.
1. Navigate to the location where you want to create the folder. You can create a new folder at any location on your hard drive or within another folder (creating a subfolder) in File Explorer. You can also create a new folder on your desktop with this method.
2. Hold down the Ctrl, Shift, and N keys at the same time. Windows will immediately create the new folder with the not-very-imaginative suggested folder name of «New folder.»
3. Enter your desired folder name. It takes just seconds to create a new folder this way, but be sure to immediately begin typing your folder name when the folder first appears, because if you click on the folder or click away from File Explorer, the folder name will be «New folder» and you’ll have to rename it.
Method #2: Create a new folder by right-clicking
If you don’t remember the keyboard shortcut (or you just prefer using the mouse):
1. Navigate to the location where you want to create the folder.
2. Right-click on a blank space in the folder location. Take care with this: If you right-click on an existing item in the folder, you’ll get the wrong menu.
3. Select New then Folder from the contextual menu. Windows will create the new folder at your current location.
4. Enter your desired folder name to replace «New folder» and hit Enter.
You can create folders on the Desktop using this method too. Right-click on a blank space on the Desktop, then go to New > Folder.
Another simple way to create a new folder is to use the New folder button in the File Explorer menu.
Just navigate to the place you want the folder and click or tap «New folder» in the Home tab.
These three methods are the simplest and quickest ways to create a new folder, so you can get right to organizing your files.

This article explains how to create a new folder in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
How Do I Create a New Folder in Windows 11?
Adopting the latest version of Windows doesn’t mean learning a whole new set of shortcuts and methods. You can rest easy knowing that much of Windows 11’s functionality is similar enough to Windows 10. One area which doesn’t stray too far from the path that previous iterations created is how to create a new folder.
The following are two different methods for creating a new folder in Windows 11.
Creating a New Folder in the Windows 11 File Explorer
If you prefer using File Explorer to create new folders in Windows 10, you’ll be pleased to learn you can still use the same method in Windows 11.
-
Open File Explorer by right-clicking the taskbar and selecting File Explorer, pressing and holding Windows+E, or searching for it in the Start menu.
-
Once in the File Explorer, select a location for the new folder, such as Desktop or any other file folder on your hard drive. Then, you can click on the New button in the Ribbon Menu at the top left and select Folder.
Creating a New Folder in Windows 11 Using the Right-Click Menu
In addition to using the Ribbon Menu to create new folders, Windows 11 users can create a new folder nearly anywhere their mouse cursor points. You can quickly create a new folder thanks to the highly contextualized and in-depth options found when right-clicking.
-
Decide where and go where you’d like to make a new folder. If it’s on the desktop, then move your mouse cursor to an empty spot on the desktop.
-
Once there, right-click with your mouse to bring up a context menu and hover over the New option.
-
With your cursor over the New option, hover over the Folder option and left-click Folder. A new folder will be created.
How to Do I Create a New Folder in Windows 10?
If you read the previous section, you’re in luck because the newest iteration essentially took its folder creation methods from past versions of Windows.
Creating a New Folder in the Windows 10 File Explorer
At first blush, there are a few differences between the File Explorers found in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Though the latter’s Ribbon Menu is a bit more flashy, both versions function the same. As a result, these steps will look eerily similar.
-
Open File Explorer by either searching for it in the taskbar or pressing Windows+E. Navigate to the folder that you will use to house your new folder.
-
Once at your desired location, click the Home menu option near the top of the window. A new toolbar will appear, with a large New Folder button. Click New Folder to create a new folder.
-
Alternatively, you can click on the folder icon at the top of the window to create a new folder.
Creating a New Folder in Windows 10 Using the Right-Click Menu
The similarities between Windows 10 and Windows 11 continue, as you can also use a right-click menu to create a new folder wherever you want.
-
Find a suitable location for your new folder, whether within the File Explorer or on your Desktop.
-
Once that location is selected, use your mouse’s right-click function to pull up a contextual menu. Then select the New option, followed by the Folder option. A new folder will be created in its location.
-
You can use the same method when creating a new folder on your Desktop.
The Keyboard Shortcut and Other Methods
You can also use your keyboard to create a new folder in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Whether you’re on your Desktop or in the File Explorer, all you need to do to create a new folder is press CTRL+Shift+N. This shortcut will immediately create a new folder which you can then rename and use as you wish.
Additionally, if you’re saving a file, you can create a folder by right-clicking in the prompt and selecting new folder. Other methods may depend on the program you’re using at the time, so keep an eye out for those.

How do I make a file a specific size in Windows?
The name of the file can be anything. First, I created a file named “myfile.txt” with a size of 63.4 KB (65000 bytes). To create it, I typed the following command: “fsutil file createnew myfile.txt 65000” . When you don’t specify a path, the file is created in your user profile folder.
