What operating System? If it is windows, to create a directory is the same as making a folder, extracting refers to decompressing a compressed file in some format or other. if it is .zip, .rar, .7z u can download 7zip (just google it) to extract it to the directory (ie. Folder) of your choice.

If it is Linux, you can just do this:
| Code: |
mkdir directory #make the directory
cd directory #were we are going to extract
tar -xf ../file.tar |
But please, be more specific

| If you cannot create a directory (folder) or extract a zip or rar file, I suggest finding a good book on win basics. It's amazing how many people have no idea how the rudiments work! (shaking head) |
