 This course focuses mainly on
Windows File Management. We'll teach you all about files and folders,
how to create, copy, cut, paste, move, and edit files and folders. We'll
teach you some advanced file management tips, tricks, and techniques.
We'll learn about the Windows file heirarchy. We'll learn all of the
ins-and-outs of the Windows File Explorer. Plus, we'll teach you how to
properly use the Recycle Bin... and more!If
you use Windows, but you just "get by" poking around with your files and
folders - and not really understanding how any of this stuff works, this
is the course for you. By the end of these lessons, you'll be organizing
your hard drive into folders, and subfolders - and you won't have to
"guess" where your files are anymore.
