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 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.Originally Posted by W4BD
Given the size of their user base, if only 50 million people think it sucks, they've done quite well. Most "in the know" see Win 7 as a vast improvement over Vista.
Even computer amateurs can tell you that Windows 7 is a vast improvement over Vista, no brainer there.
However, I have not determined that Windows 7 is a vast improvement over XP. XP wasn't a vast improvement over Windows 98SE until after service pack 1A. I have Windows operating systems from Windows 286, stayed with Win3.11 wfw until Windows 98, then jumped to XP SP1A. I also have experience with Win NT 3.5.1, 4, and 2K. I have put my own systems together from pieces bought from computer fairs. I still have a 486 running, first of the VESA local buses.
Today, I don't have the time to spend on computers as I have in the past, so Linux has always been on the back burner, and Macs, well I could never find specific files, such as simple bookmarks, but that was pre OS-X days.
XP very rarely crashes on anything, more noticeable on shut down on non-responsive Microsoft products. Other than those very rare occasions, XP is solid.
I do not appreciate Windows 7, designed for the dumb user. I rather organize my own file folders thank you, and do not like the new Start menu. I like the small icons on my quick launch bar, not the bloated spaces in Windows 7. Windows 7 has so many incompatibilities and inconsistencies it is not settling, to the point I don't know what I get. Programs that Windows 7 run on some machines, will not run on others. No Windows Classics option - Microsoft way or too bad...
The conclusion I am coming to is that Windows 7 is really Vista 2.0. No sir, I do not like Windows 7 very much
From "one in the know"....
Of course, that's much like saying waterboarding is a vast improvement over actually drowning.

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.
Naturally.
Windows 7 IS Vista 2.0. And it's really Windows 6.5.
