Question

Which of the following is the correct way to create a new folder on the desktop in Windows?

A.

Press Ctrl + S on desktop

B.

Right-click on desktop → New → Folder

C.

Drag an icon from Start Menu to desktop

D.

Open Task Manager → Click on New Folder

Correct option is B


The correct answer is (b) Right-click on desktop → New → Folder
Explanation:
· Creating a new folder on the Windows desktop uses the context menu that appears when you right-click.
· From this menu, selecting "New" followed by "Folder" generates a new directory.
· The folder appears with a highlighted name field so the user can rename it immediately.
· This method is universally supported across different Windows versions.
· The purpose is to organize files, documents, images, and applications efficiently.
· A folder acts as a container that stores multiple files in one place for easier access.
· Using the right-click menu is quicker and requires no additional navigation through system tools.
· It avoids accidental actions because all options are displayed clearly.
Information Booster:
· Folders can also be created using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + N.
· Desktop folders help manage clutter and improve workflow.
Additional Knowledge (Incorrect Options):
· Option a – Ctrl + S is used for saving files, not for creating folders.
· Option c – Dragging icons only creates shortcuts, not folders.
· Option d – Task Manager cannot create folders.
