These three options also appear when you choose “File” “Open” from within Microsoft Word,
but they have slightly different names. Other programs will have the same three options, which
again might have slightly different names.

6.1.2 Using My Computer

Double-clicking on the My Computer icon, which should be located in the upper left-hand
corner of your desktop, will open a window labeled My Computer. From within this window,
you can open, move, copy, and delete files; you can also create, move, copy, and delete folders.
Double clicking on any folder icon also opens My Computer, but you will see the contents of
that directory rather than the contents of your computer.
