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.
About drives
Drives are like file cabinets because they hold files and folders. A computer
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 diskette drive. You may
also have more drives such as a CD/DVD drive.
To view the drives on your computer:
■ Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop.
