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.
Help
