View - New Guide - Type in 33.33% (that's the vertical dimension) Do it
again with 66.66%.
Close enough.

Depending on how your folder is folded you may NOT want all three panels
of equal width because there may be some ugly overhang caused by the
fold itself or if a panel tucks into the other two as in many brochures
it may not fold flat. I'd look for a template. And I'd use a page layout
program.

Step 1: Don't use Photoshop--it's the wrong tool for the job. Use a page-layout
program.

Yes; you can create new guides numerically. However, you're better off setting
it up as 3 pages in a page layout program, and building the job that way. It'll
save your sanity; Photoshop is a poor page-layout tool.

Illustrator is much, much better, even though it is not a page-layout tool.
