Gateway Solo 9300 - Working with Files and Folders; About Drives

Working with files and folders
You can organize your documents 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.
About drives
Drives are like file cabinets because they hold many files and folders. A
computer almost always has more than one drive. Each drive has a letter,
usually
Local Disk (C:) for the main drive and 3½ Floppy (A:) for the diskette
drive. Depending on your system, you may also have more drives such as
CD/DVD or Zip drives. Each drive has its own letter.
To view the drives on your computer:
■ Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
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 the drive icon, click
View the entire contents of this drive.
