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
usually 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
additional drives, such as CD or DVD drives.
To view the drives on your computer:
■ Click Start, then click My Computer on the Start menu.
Clicking the maximize button expands the active window to
fit the entire computer display. Clicking the maximize
button again restores the window to its former size.
Clicking the close button closes the active window or
program.
Clicking an item on the menu bar starts an action such as
Print or Save.
