How do you create a new System Folder?

Question

Howdy, 

How do you create a new System Folder in addition to Documents, Music, Pictures, etc...?

Answer 1

Open the folder where you already have your Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. 

That folder should be:  C:\Users\your user account name

Right-click on a blank space inside that folder and select New > Folder.

I did that, but it doesnt show up under My PC's System folders, so I dont know how to save things in it.

Answer 2

You can't create a folder inside your computer's system folders because you don't have write permissions there. You (and I and everyone else) only have write permissions in our own user folders.

Besides, you don't want to store your personal files outside your user folders.

Answer 3

Perhaps creating a new library will accomplish what you are after.

Answer 4

The folders under C:\Users\Username are created as the result of creating a new account. There is no need to manually create them.

Answer 5

Are you wanting additional folders under This PC? How many? Have you already re-purposed 3D Objects?

No. 

I wanted to create a new System Folder that would show up visually like Documents, Pictures, Music, etc...

First of all, right-click the Picures folder under This PC, select Properties, then the Location tab. That will tell you the file system location the folder points to.

If you want to take over 3D Objects, you can do the following:

1. Open the Properties dialog for the 3D Objects folder under This PC & select the Location tab
2. Click the Move buttom, then navigatet to & select Robert's folder.
3. Click Apply
4. Decline the option to move current content to new location.
5. Click FInd Target...

A new Explorer window opens to the target's parent folder with the target selected. It will be displaying the name 3D Objects but it's still your foldder, don't worry. 6. Rigth-clcik the target folder & select Properties 7. On the General tab, select the current display name in the textbox, "3D Objects", and type your desired display name.

It will balk if the name matches the target folder exactly. Vary the name slightly if necessary & you can later correct it by editing the desktop.ini ifle in the folder. 8. If desired, change the icon of the folder via the Customize tab in the Poroperties dialog

That's it!
