8 File Management File management refers to the organising of files stored on your computer. Files should be organised in a logical manner to ensure they can be located quickly and easily. Folders, Files and Storage The drives, folders and files on your computer form a hierarchical structure. At the top layer are the drives including the hard drive, removable drives and any network drives you have access to. It may help to think about your computer as a filing cabinet, with each drawer in the cabinet corresponding to a physical drive. Each computer drive contains folders. Computer folders are virtual storage locations. They can contain other folders (called subfolders) and files. Files are the actual documents you work on such as a word processed document. This folder structure is sometimes referred to as a directory tree. Hard drive (the root) Personal Clients Accounts Databases Letters What is the Root? The root is the top level of a directory tree. For example, if you save a file directly onto the hard disk (rather than in a folder) that file is stored in the root. Similarly you can save a file to the root of a USB memory stick, rather than in a folder. vi OFFICE PROCEDURES Millbank Investments Ltd, 2013

9 File Explorer File Explorer is a file management program included in Windows 8.1, designed to help you manage your files, folders and drives.

Click on a drive or folder in the Navigation Pane to display the content in the Details pane. Favourites Favourite drives are listed at the top of the Navigation Pane. These provide quick links to useful locations. An example is shown below; your Favourites might be different. OneDrive The OneDrive is a virtual storage device, available if you have a Microsoft account. Homegroup If your computer is part of a Homegroup (a small network) the users will be listed under Homegroup in the Navigation Pane. This PC This PC lists the main folders and drives that form the basis of the storage space on the computer. Main storage folders Hard drive/local Disk CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive USB memory stick Note The letters and names applied to each drive may vary. The CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive may not display in the Navigation Pane until a disc is inserted. Network Locations If you have access to a network drive, it will be listed under in the Navigation Pane. viii OFFICE PROCEDURES Millbank Investments Ltd, 2013
