Unit 6: File Management



            In the left-hand pane, drives, directories, and subdirectories are visible. To expand your view of   Notes
            the contents of a drive or directory, click on the + sign next to the directory name. To collapse
            your view of the contents of a drive or directory, click on the – sign next to the directory name.

            To see the contents of a drive or directory, click once on it (i.e., select it). In the right hand
            pane, the contents of the selected drive or directory are then displayed. The right hand pane
            functions just like the windows in My Computer. In the Figure 6.3, the drive C:\ is selected,
            and its contents are shown in the right-hand pane.


                          Another difference between Windows Explorer and My Computer is that
                          WindowsExplorer allows you to drag-and-drop files and folders with the
                          mouse.

            In the next example, the drive C:\ has been expanded, and the directory “Documents” has been

            selected. Its contents are displayed in the right-hand pane.
