Hi Zoe, The simplest way to create a folder in the location you wish is to go to this location first. Since you want to create your new folders on the desktop, open your Home folder first from the finder with the shortcut key combination command+shift+h. You are now in your Home folder, and while you are there, it's worth exploring what folders you have there. One of the folders in the Home folder is desktop. Open it with the usual key combination command+o or command+down arrow. Once inside the desktop folder - and you can always confirm this by pressing command+option+f2 for VoiceOver to announce the title of the folder you are in - you can create a new folder like this: press the key combination, command+shift+n for the folder title textbox to appear. Your cursor is already in it so all you need to know is to type the title of your new folder, otherwise the folder will be named by default "untitled". Once you have typed the name of your new folder, press enter key and you will have a new folder in the desktop folder. You can then repeat the steps for the second folder. Just an additional tip: if you ever want to change the name of a folder or of a file, put your VoiceOver cursor on the name in the list, press enter and you will be in the textbox for the title of the file or folder. you can now use all the editing keys to rename or correct the title. Press enter again to accept changes, or escape to get out of this editing textbox if you don't wish to make changes. I'm not quite sure how you would add a folder to the dock. There is a way of doing so but somebody else will have to help you with it. You still have to create your new folders first anyway before you add them to your dock. There's a key combination for this but I can't remember it now.
