CREATE NEW DOCUMENT FROM DESKTOP

If you need to draft a letter or spreadsheet on the fly, there's no need to go the long route--open the application, start a new document, and so on. Windows 95 will do it all for you, right from the desktop.

Right-click a blank area of the desktop, select New, and in the resulting menu, select the file type you want to create. And there's your new file, right on the desktop. Give it a name, then double-click it to get inside. (Note: You can also create a new document by right-clicking the blank area of any window, selecting New, and so on.)
