How do I move a folder from the hard drive to the desktop?

The term "My Documents," together with "My Computer," was first introduced in the Windows 95 operating system, as part of an effort to improve the sense of personal connection between the computer and its user. The folder, located at the root of the hard drive that Windows is installed on, was displayed directly on the user's desktop, making it easy for a user to find their files at any given time.
