Working With Files And Folders; Viewing Drives - Gateway DX442XP User Manual

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.

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.
