Drive letter “c:” is used in these examples. Any valid, writable drive letter can be used.

A temporary folder may be created on a Windows-based PC using differing methods:
A. Use the Windows Desktop to create and rename the temporary folder.
• Right-click anywhere on the desktop to open the popup submenu, and then select New > Folder to create the
temporary folder. The “New Folder” will be created on the desktop.
• Right-click on the “New Folder” and then select ‘Rename’ from the popup submenu. Rename this folder to
"temp" or some other convenient, unused name.
B. Use Windows Command-line to create the temporary folder.
• First, click [Start] on the Windows taskbar, and then click the Run... icon (or, depending on Windows OS
versions prior to Windows 95, click the MS-Command-line Prompt icon from the Main Menu).
• Next, open a Command-line window…
o For Windows 95 or Windows 98, type “command”.
o For any Windows OS versions later than Windows 98, type “cmd” or “command”.
o Alternately, from [Start], select All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
• Finally, from the Command-line prompt (c:\>), type “mkdir temp” or “md temp” (mkdir and md stand for
make directory), and then click [OK].
C. Use the ‘Run’ and ‘Browse’ windows to create and rename the temporary folder.
• Select [Start] on the Windows taskbar, and then click the Run... icon. The ‘Run’ window will open.
• Click [Browse] in the ‘Run’ window. The ’Browse’ window will open.
• Click the Create New Folder icon in the ‘Browse’ window. The “New Folder” will be created.
• Right-click the “New Folder” folder name, and then rename this folder to “temp” or some other convenient,
unused name.
There should now be a "temp" folder created and available for placement of the firmware archive file
download.
