`Starting Windows Explore and My Computer
`
`Starting Windows Explorer
`
`Windows Explorer is a file management tool that enables you to view, copy, and
`move files and folders; format disks; and perform other tasks related to file
`management.
`
`How to Access Windows Explorer:
`
`Step 1.
`
`From the Taskbar, point to the Start button.
`
`Step 2.
`
`Right-click and choose Explore from the Shortcut menu.
`
`
`
`(cid:20)
`
`Windows Explorer and My Computer allow you access to the
`same list of resources. The difference is what each can display in
`a single window. Windows Explorer can display all resources
`and their contents in a single window. My Computer can display
`only the contents of the selected resource in a single window. To
`view multiple resources in My Computer, you would need to
`open multiple windows.

`

`Using Folders and Files
`
`Identifying Folder Icons
`
`In Windows, file management is based on files and folders. Folders can store
`other folders, as well as files, and can be created, renamed, moved, copied, and
`deleted, just like directories.
`
`Windows Explorer displays folders in several different ways. The different views
`are designed to assist you in navigating your way through Explorer. The table
`below outlines the different displays and a description of each.
`Folder Icons
`Description
`Contents of the folder are displayed in
`the File pane.
`
`Icon
`
` Contains subfolders which have not been
`revealed in the Folder Pane. Click on the
`plus sign to view the subfolders in the
`Folder Pane.
`
`Contains subfolders which have been
`revealed in the Folder Pane. Click on the
`minus sign to remove the subfolders
`from view in the Folder Pane.
`
`
`
`
`
`Contains either files or nothing at all.
`Does not contain any subfolders.
`
`
`
`If a folder is closed, double-clicking on it will cause the folder to
`expand and display its subfolders in the Folder Pane. If a folder
`is open, double-clicking on it will cause the folder to close and
`remove any subfolders from view in the Folder Pane.

`File Management
`
`Copying Folders and Files
`
`In Windows, file management is based on files and folders. Folders can store
`other folders, as well as files, and can be created, renamed, moved, copied, and
`deleted.
`
`As a file management tool, the Windows Explorer allows you to copy folders and
`files to different locations on your hard drive, to a network drive, or to a diskette.
`
`Copying files to another drive, folder, or diskette is one way to share files with
`other users while maintaining the originals. In addition, it is a good security
`measure. You can use copy as a means of keeping duplicate or back-up copies of
`important files in a directory designated for back-up files or on a diskette.
`
`Points on Copying Folders and Files
`
`(cid:57) When you copy folders or files using the mouse, the mouse pointer displays
`a plus ( ) sign.
`(cid:57) If you want to copy more than one item, hold the Ctrl key while selecting
`the items to be copied.
`(cid:57) When copying a file to a new location, the file listed on the Documents
`menu still points to the original file location.

`File Management
`
`Moving Folders or Files
`
`As a file management tool, Windows Explorer allows you to move folders and
`files to different locations on your hard drive, to a network drive, or to a diskette.
`
`When files are in their final form, you may want to move them from the working
`directory to a directory designated for final drafts.
`
`Points on Moving Folders or Files
`
`(cid:57) Moving a folder or file physically moves the folder or file to another
`location.
`(cid:57) When a folder is moved, all subfolders and files that reside in it are moved
`as well.
`(cid:57) If a file is moved to a new location on the same drive, the Documents
`option on the Start menu will find the file in its new location. If a file a
`moved to a different drive, the Documents option on the Start menu will
`not be able to find the file in its new location.
`
`How to Move a Folder or File Using Menus

`Searching for Folders or Files
`By Name
`
`You can locate a specific folder or file using the Windows Search function. When
`performing the Search, you must specify where the search should begin and if it
`should include all subdirectories.
