Windows Explorer A file management
programme that lets you see the hierarchy
of folders on your computer and all the
files and subfolders in each folder. Visual-
ising the hierarchy is useful for copying
and moving files. You can open the folder
that contains the file you want to move
or copy, click and drag the file to a new
folder, and then drop it in. To find
Windows Explorer, click the Start button,
and point to Programmes. You can create
a shortcut to Windows Explorer.
Windows taskbar The grey bar running
along the bottom of the screen when your
computer completes start-up. The Start
button is on the left side of the taskbar,
and the systray (a tray with icons and
the computer clock) is on the right. Pro-
grammes that are running, but minimised
into icons, are displayed in the middle of
the taskbar.

signing up with an Internet service pro-
vider or posting a Web site to a server.

zipped file A file that has been squeezed
to a smaller size by compression software,
such as WinZip. An archive (group of
related files that are zipped together) can
be transmitted as an e-mail attachment
much faster than individual files. An
archive takes up less storage space on your
disk. It can be identified by the file exten-
sion .zip. An archive contains a self-
extracting programme with the file exten-
sion .exe (for executable). Double-click the
executable file, and a wizard guides you
through the process of unzipping the files.
