About this tag
This tag is for new members of the WindowsForum.com community who are posting for the first time.

In the example thread, a newcomer asks for help with a Windows file explorer problem where 'Open file location' and 'Save image as' incorrectly open the Desktop folder instead of the intended target folder. The tag helps identify posts from users who may be unfamiliar with forum navigation or etiquette, and it allows experienced members to offer guidance and troubleshooting assistance.
