Hey Maria, Well I try. I just like to say that I always got your and Lynne's back. So when I saw this I immediately checked it out and then said wait a minute I think she meant to say Alt-F. Of course, I definitely payed attention when I was a student of hers and when I was a valuable co-worker as well.

Hey Eric, You're sharp as a tack. Lynne should be proud of her former student. I read it and thought there was something odd, but decided there might be a new way to do it.

Hey Lynne, I think you made a mistake on a part of the directions. You press Alt-F for the file menu and then down arrow until you hear it say new. You had wrote Alt-I. Just a little correction for you and the other infoshare members.

Today's piece of info comes straight out of what I've been doing for so many years--creating folders in order to organize my massive file collection. Here's how I do it. 1. Open the My documents folder. this is the main folder on XP systems. it's a catch-all for applications such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, etc. Other applications use this folder as well, such as the Amazon MP3 downloader. the scary thing is there are folders within this main folder. they really are there for your convenience, though. 2. Press Alt-I to open the File menu. 3. use your Down Arrow until you hear New submenu and press Enter. 4. You are in an edit field. type in the name of your folder and press Enter. Done! you are now free to copy, move, rename, and paste to your heart's content. 5. The fastest way to locate your new folder is to type the first letter of the folder name. Lynne Info is Power
