How to work with files and folders on a computer:

Just like a filing cabinet, your computer allows you to store the files you create in folders.  Those folders can create not only files, but also other folders.

The START MENU provides access to several folders that you can use to organize your files including the Pictures, documents and music folders.  Lets open the pictures folder.

Notice how the address bar identifies the folder we're in.  The files contained in this folder are shown as icons here in the folder list.  You can change the size of the icons in the views button.  Lets make them a little bigger.

When you select a file you can see information about it in the details pane here.

As your number of files increases, you may want to make new folders for your different projects.

To create a new folder, click the ORGANIZE BUTTON - NEW FOLDER and then name the folder.

To move a file to it, drag the file to the folder.

Open the folder by double-clicking it.  You can click the back button to return to the previous folder.

If you think you'll use a folder frequently, drag it to the favorites links area.  These links let you open folders quickly no matter what folder you are currently in.

SAVE A FILE

Now that you know how to work with folders lets see how to save a file.

When you create a file, such as a report, you can save it using the file menu.  This program saves files in the documents folder, but you can pick another location if you prefer.  Type a name for the file here and then click save.

To see the file we've just saved, lets open the documents folder.  Here it is.

SEARCHING FOR A FILE

If you're having trouble finding the file, you can use this box to search the currently folder.  Type anything you can remember about the file such as part of its name.  Notice how the search results appear as you type.  These first three files have names that contain the search term.

This last file appears as a result because text inside the file matches the search term.

If you don't know which folder to search, you can use the start menu to search instead.    Type in the search box and then click a result to open it.

Now you know the basics of working with files and folders.
