Can someone please help me. I have been asked to go to my c:/Prompt and make
two folders for a download. (one is a ftp file and the other cgi editor).
Then make a folder in my c:/Drive to download information into to keep. (I am

If you're really that clueless, you may want to think twice before making
adjustments to your computer on your own. It's no shame to ask someone else
to do it for you until you become more experienced. Otherwise you could end
up damaging your computer.

The C prompt looks like this: C:\
To get to a C prompt go to Start > Run > type CMD in the Open box and click
OK.

The C drive is the partition where your Windows installation is found.
To open the C drive go to Start > My Computer and double-click on the Local
Disk (C icon.

A minor quibble; my XP system disc is D: and C:\ would bring my
FAT legacy partition with Windows 97 (or whatever). Fortunately,
I've only met one downloaded program in the past two years that
proposed to install itself on C:.

So, you want to create a folder on your C drive?
If so, the easiest way is to use Windows Explorer.
You can of course use the command prompt as others have suggested (and your
instructions only partially described).

In the Address field, press the arrow at the right end of the field until
you get to the C drive. Select it and press enter. Now the address field
should show C:\
This is the C: prompt and you are looking at the top folders on this drive.
Next, pull down the menu under the File tab and select New. Then select
Folder. Press Enter, and you have created the folder on the C: drive.
This folder has the informative name of NewFolder.
Put the cursor at the end of the name, and erase the name. Then enter the
name that you really want. When done, press enter because otherwise the
replacement name will not stick.
You are now ready to use your brand new folder.
Jim

1. Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
2. Then double-click on your hard drive labeled (C.
3. Now right-click in an empty white space and select New > Folder.
4. Name the new folder (i.e. FTP File).
5. Repeat the procedure to create a second folder (i.e. CGI Editor)
6. Before actually downloading, browse to the folder you wish to download into.

So it was really 98 (I did say whatever)! Who cares about
archeology :-) I set up that partition because I was not
totally certain about XP working with all my files and it did
screw up the protections on some but I really only have booted
the C: partition about three times in the past year.
