I am happy to try clarifying ~ you use Notepad as it is a piece of paper. I'm not sure if it's always called Notepad on all computers, but you should find it by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories.

When you first see it on the Accessories list, right click on it & a drop-down will appear - then you can choose "Pin to Start Menu" or choose "Send To" and put it on the Desktop.
Or you can do both, so if the desk gets buried you can always find your Start button...LOL

Either way makes it fast & handy. This is where and how I save website URLs with any pertinent notes regarding designs (or anything).

When you save it, click File, "Save As" - a window will appear wherein you choose the destination Folder for your note and type it's title.
The contents of your note can be modified and re-saved using the one word "Save" button.

I put my Notepad Desktop Shortcut way over to the left, and pull in the left side of my web browser window because I use Notepad constantly.!!

I hope this was clear - I remember how confusing it is at first....I had to take a tablet & list everything, step-by-step....#1.Push big silver button to "boot up" ....... H
