Working with files and folders
You can organize your files and programs to suit your preferences much like you
would store information in a file cabinet. You can store these files in folders and copy,
move, and delete the information just as you would reorganize and throw away
information in a file cabinet.
Viewing drives
Drives
are like file cabinets because they hold files and folders. A computer almost
always has more than one drive. Each drive has a letter, usually Local Disk (C:) for
the hard drive and 3½ Floppy (A:) for the diskette drive. You may also have more
drives such as a CD or DVD drive.
To view the drives on your computer:
• Click Start, then click My Computer.
To see the files and folders on a drive:
• Double-click the drive icon. If you do not see the contents of a drive after you
double-click its icon, click Show the contents of this drive.
