files and folders, click Start , then click

A file or folder that you need is rarely right on top of your Windows desktop. It
is usually on a drive inside a folder that may be inside yet another folder, and
so on.
Windows drives, folders, and files are organized in the same way as a real file
cabinet in that they may have many levels (usually many more levels than a file
cabinet, in fact). So you usually will have to search through levels of folders to
find the file or folder that you need. This is called
browsing .

1
Click Start , then click M

Show
the contents of this drive or Show the contents of this folder .

Continue double-clicking folders and their subfolders until you find the
file or folder you want.
