Managing Files

A file is any unit of information that is named and stored on your computer hard disk drive or other electronic storage media, such as a CD, diskette, or even in a digital camera. A file can be an application program, a picture, music or sounds, a document, or data.

Almost everything you do on your computer involves working with files.

The computer can copy files to other storage media within component drives, such as diskettes, memory cards, CDs or DVDs, or it can send them to output devices, such as a printer.

Organizing Files with Folders

In Windows Vista, folders enable you to organize the files on your computer. Like paper folders within a filing cabinet, folders on your computer provide a way to group related files together.

A folder can contain any type of file, and it can even contain other folders. Each file within a folder must have a unique name, but two different folders can have files with the same name.

There are two methods for working with the files and folders on your computer:

￿The Computer view enables you to quickly see all the files and folders within a specific folder on your computer. It also contains links to common tasks for managing your files, such as copying, moving, deleting, and renaming.

To open the Computer view, click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar, and then click Computer.

￿Windows Explorer enables you to quickly see all the folders and files on your computer. It also makes it easy to move or copy files from one folder to another.

To open Windows Explorer, right-click Windows Start Button on the taskbar, and then click Explore.

To navigate the Computer and Windows Explorer views, double-click folders to open and display their contents. Click the Back arrow button to retrace your path through the opened folders.
