Windows Explorer
As you use your PC more and more, you may nd the number of les you have to manage getting larger.
Windows Explorer in Windows 7 give you a central place to view and organize all the les on your PC.
The new layout of Windows Explorer reduces clutter and makes better use of space, while an improved
navigation pane helps you nd and organize your les—even when those les are on other PCs in your
home network. In addition, it’s now simpler than ever to sort your les according to how you want to see
them with new arrangement options such as by author, subject, date created, le type, storage location,
or any other tag or property.
The new Windows Explorer also shows you rich le previews so you can peek at the contents of any
le. You’ll appreciate the
quick access to your favorite
locations, new buttons that
make it simpler to perform
common tasks, and the abil-
ity to sort les according to
your own criteria. Addition-
ally, Windows Explorer always
displays the parent folder
your le is in so it’s easier to
know where you are.
File previews in Windows Explorer help
you nd the les you are looking for.
