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, for
example
Local Disk (C:)
for the main drive.
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
