Is there any better way to save my work than just on my desktop without taking up alot of space?

Answer 1

Do you mean your Windows desktop? If so, you could save your documents on Google's website. They have a Docs feature that includes a word processor and a spreadsheet. It's saved on Google's servers and accessed by the internet, so it doesn't take up any space on your computer.

Alternatively you could buy a thumb drive and save all your work there -- then pull out the drive from its USB port and put it in your pocket.

Answer 2

You can save your files anywhere you want to on your computer. For some reason your computer is simply defaulting to the Desktop folder. You can change the folder to one that has already been created, or if you want to you can create a new folder and save your work in there.

To help with the clutter on your desktop you can create a folder on your desktop that you will save all your files to. then select all of the files that you want to move into that folder and drag them all into the folder. You can clear up a lot of desktop space that way.

1. Get a desktop for gaming in general, laptops are just not that powerful enough compared to desktop in price. To have a decent gaming laptop it costs nearly twice as much for a similar desktop version. ---------- 2. Don't buy a laptop or desktop from Alienware, unless you really have the money to burn off and like the little glitter and do-da. It's mostly a ripoff, but I suppose you get what you pay for in terms of quality. I suggest you either build your own computer with good components or buy a decent pre-made one from good vendors like 'Ebuyer' or 'Dabs'. ---------- 3. Never played Maple Stpry before, but in general gaming computer requirements are: 2GB RAM, a Dual Core processor or Quad Core, a GTS 250 GFX and around 500+ GB of hard drive space. Optimum specs would be: 4GB RAM, a Quad Core processor, a GTX 460 GFX and around 700+ GB of hard drive space. ---------- 4. Just stick with Windows 7, it beats XP/Vista in terms of performance, plus latest gadgets and drivers don't support XP or Win 2000 due to it being a old platform. Windows 7 is a great OS, assuming to have a semi-decent computer to handle it. ---------- Overall: Get a desktop with 4GB RAM, Quad Core processor, atleast GTS 250 GFX and 500+ GB hard drive space with Windows 7 OS.

It's always best to save it in places in *addition* to your desktop in case your desktop goes south and you need to put back a copy on your new desktop. But one good small way to store a copy is a "thumb drive" (USB storage device) - amazingly inexpensive, holds alot, fast! I bought my first one back when they were expensive, and now, sometimes when you buy certain things in Office Depot, you might even get one for free!

Answer 5

Save it to a removable USB disk, or jump drive. A 1 GB jump drive is only $40 at your local Best Buy, Circuit City, or pretty much any computer store.
