Jan's Working with Windows:

Files & Folders: Summary

In the project Files & Folders you have learned a lot about managing your documents. You used My Computer and Explorer views and Open and Save As dialog boxes. You learned to create, move, copy, delete, restore, and rename folders and files. You used several different methods - the mouse, the menu bar, the toolbar or ribbon, and popup menus. You opened applications using Start menu shortcuts, directly from a folder tree, and with Run or Search. You opened documents directly from the listing of files and folders and from an Open dialog box. You learned how important it is to make backup copies of your work.
