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 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 or
DVD drive.
