Well how do you make new folders in Windows 7 Home. I want to use dosbox and Super Morse and I want to put them in a folder by themselves. I was able to do it on my XP puter and SM runs fine on it. Now I want to do it on the Win 7 machine and I have looked and looked but haven't found anything in help. So anybody know how to do this and by the way I don't want to use another OS.

Bring up Windows Explorer and browse to where you want the new folder.
On the menu bar at the top of the window, there should be an item that says "New Folder."
Click that.
Windows 7 has this "Libraries" feature that takes a little getting used to.

Library provides conveniences such as searching in a library will automatically federates the query to the all folders included in the library, including those that located in remote systems, in addition to searching on the local system. Library also supports transparent saving of files and folders into library with the backing of physical location, where the default save location for a library can be configure by the user.
In Windows 7 Explorer, Libraries special folder is prominently displayed on the navigation pane, with four default libraries for different file types: Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos, which pre-configured to include the user’s profile folders for these respective file types, as well as the computer’s corresponding Public folders.
Not all users will like the Library feature in Windows 7 though. Some users may prefer to manage and organize their files with just normal folders. Furthermore, Library takes up a rather large area of screen estate in the Windows Explorer navigation pane, effectively causing regular folders tree harder to access and reach.

Well the more I look at Windows 7 the less I like it. I got the new folder made and I got Super Morse copied into it. I have got to run and go do some work so I will play with it tonight.
Thanks for the quick come back on my question.

You're sick. I admire that.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Yea, weird huh?
Found libraries to be useful at work, for various crap in shared network directories.
Using it for music and other media collections is pretty useful.
Learned a long time ago to do it "Bill's Way", though counter intuitive at times.

I tried the library thing, and it seemed like it wanted to copy all the files into the library. Izzat how it works? I figured it would make pointers instead of copying the whole 160 Gig. I need a copy of Windows 7 for Dummies.
You are not alone. Do a Google search on "Windows 7 sucks" and see the complaints galore. I see so many compatibility problems, less operational functionality, more blank space... what it comes to is that Windows 7 is nothing more than Vista 2.
No, it's setting up the associations and other file info for searching and finding it easily. This gets saved to a library file.
Like a Linux symbolic link, kinda... but done visually.
