Files & Folders:
Summary

Summary of Windows Project 2

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, 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 now have the skills to start using major applications to do real work. Of course there is a lot more to learn.
