Browsing for files and folders
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 .
To browse for a file:
1
In Windows XP, click
Start
, then click
My Computer
. The My Computer
window opens.

Caution Emptying the Recycle Bin permanently erases any files or
folders in the bin. These files cannot be restored.
