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.

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
