Windows Explorer

As you use your PC more and more, you may find the number of files you have to manage getting larger. Windows Explorer in Windows 7 give you a central place to view and organize all the files on your PC. The new layout of Windows Explorer reduces clutter and makes better use of space, while an improved navigation pane helps you find and organize your files—even when those files are on other PCs in your home network. In addition, it’s now simpler than ever to sort your files according to how you want to see them with new arrangement options such as by author, subject, date created, file type, storage location, or any other tag or property.

The new Windows Explorer also shows you rich file previews so you can peek at the contents of any file. 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 files according to your own criteria. Addition- ally, Windows Explorer always displays the parent folder your file is in so it’s easier to know where you are.

File previews in Windows Explorer help you find the files you are looking for.
