Working with files and folders

You can organize your files 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.

Viewing drives

Drives are like file cabinets because they hold files and folders. A notebook

almost always has more than one drive. Each drive has a letter, usually Local

Disk (C:) for the hard drive and 3½ Floppy (A:) for the optional diskette drive.

You may also have more drives such as a CD, DVD, or recordable drive.

To view the drives on your notebook:

■ In Windows XP, click Start, then click My Computer on the Start menu.

- OR -

In Windows 2000, double-click the

My Computer icon on the desktop.
