As you
learn how to use PSP, you're going to want more
tubes to work with than what came with your
program.. you can find lots of tubes on the web,
but you'll need to know how to download,
unzip/extract, scan, and save them...be sure to
check out the sites TOU (terms of use) before
downloading from it...
Before you
start downloading tubes, you need somewhere to
put them, I prefer to download my zipped tubes
to a folder on my desktop, named "Tubes to
Unzip", so I can scan them for viruses before I
unzip them, then as I unzip my tubes, I extract
them into folders, located in My Documents...
It's not wise to overload your tubes folder in
PSP, as it will slow your program down, and
cause problems... I use a pre-made folder that
contains lots of empty sub folders, each is
named for the different types of tubes you
download, (you can rename the ones you don't
use, or delete them)...if you would like to have
one of these folders, you can download it from
Here,
and save it to your
My
Documents folder...
Create a Folder
Now we need to make a folder for our zipped
tubes.. I prefer to save mine on my desktop, so
right click on a empty area of your desktop
(the desktop is the 1st screen you see after you
sign onto your computer)
This
box will open, click New
This box will drop down from the previous box,
click Folder
Now you have a new folder on your desktop
You need to name your folder, something like
Tubes to Unzip, by adding the name in the
small box below the folder, it should already be
highlighted, so don't click in the box, just
start typing the name...
~
or ~
If
you would rather have your zipped tubes folder
in My Documents, click Start
Scroll up and click on My Documents
Once your Folder opens, click Make a new
folder
If
you don't have that option, click on Folders,
to switch to correct view
A
new folder will appear
You need to name your folder, something like
My Zipped Tubes, by adding the name in the
small box below the folder, it should already be
highlighted, so don't click in the box, just
start typing the name...
That's all there is to it.. you have just
created a folder for your zipped tubes
