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 notebook
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 optional diskette drive.
You may also have more drives such as a CD, DVD, or recordable drive.
To view the drives on your notebook:
In Windows XP, click Start, then click My Computer on the Start menu.
- OR -
In Windows 2000, double-click the
My Computer icon on the desktop.
