How to Create a Folder on the PSP Memory Stick

Although the PSP is used primarily as a video gaming device, it can also be used as a portable media device, and can play back videos, music and photos. However, if you plan on keeping a lot of media on your PSP, you may want to create new folders to keep everything organized. Luckily, the PSP's USB mode makes creating and organizing new folders for your media a simple process.

Things You'll Need

Mini-USB cord Computer with USB 2.0 port

Instructions

- 1
  Connect your PSP to your computer using a standard mini-USB cord. Use a USB port with the 2.0 protocol, which is standard on computers built in the past five years. If you do not know when your computer was built, or are unsure about your USB ports, consult your owner's manual.

  Wait for PSP drivers to install. If this is your first time connecting your PSP to your computer, wait a few moments before accessing your device, as your computer will need to install some automatic drivers to ensure proper functionality. If you have previously connected your PSP to your computer, you may skip this step.

  Go to "My Computer." You should see a little PSP icon under the "devices with removable storage" option. A new window will pop up.
