Organizing Files and Folders CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Organizing Files and Folders Topics Covered: The Windows 8.1 File System Developing an Organizational Strategy Navigating to Files

The Windows 7 File System CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files The Windows 7 File System To ensure system stability and to find files quickly, Windows 8.1 organizes the folders and files in a hierarchy, or file system. The root directory is the first or top-most directory in a hierarchy. It can be likened to the root of a tree - the starting point where all branches originate. On the C: drive at the top of the hierarchy is the root directory, where Windows 7 stores folder and files that it needs when you turn on the computer. Some folder contain other folders, called subfolders.

CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Navigating to Files The file path shows the location of a file on a computer and leads you through the file and folder organization to the file. This file path includes: Drive name Top-level folder Subfolder Full file name, including file extension

CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Navigating to Files Clicking on the triangle in front of a library or folder will open that folder and display the folders inside. (subfolders) Currently we are looking at what is contained in the libraries folder. Notice that the triangle is pointing down Clicking on a folder with no triangle will show the files that folder contains. Note that the libraries listed have open triangles in front of them. This indicated there are additional folders inside of the library. Note that the folders inside of the 1979 folder do not have triangles, this indicates that this folder only contains files.

Managing Folders and Files CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Managing Folders and Files Topics Covered: Creating a Folder or Subfolder Moving or Copying Files and Folders Naming and Renaming Files Deleting Files and Folders

Creating a Folder or Subfolder CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Creating a Folder or Subfolder The first step is to determine which files seem to belong together. Next, develop an appropriate file structure. When you are working on your own computer, you usually create folders within the My Documents folder and other standard folders, such as My Music and My Pictures.

Guidelines for Creating Folders CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Guidelines for Creating Folders Keep folder names short and familiar. Develop standards for naming folders. A folder name can have up to 255 characters, but cannot include the / \ : * ? “ < > or | characters. Create subfolders to organize files.

Moving or Copying Files and Folders CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Moving or Copying Files and Folders Moving a file removes it from its current location and places it in a new location you specify. Copying also places the file in a new location that you specify, but does not remove it from its current location. To move or copy more than one file at the same time, you select all the files you want to copy, and then drag them as a group. To select files that are adjacent in a window, click the first file in the list, hold down the Shift key, click the last file in the list, and then release the Shift key. To select files that are not adjacent, click one file, hold down the Ctrl key, click the other files, and then release the Ctrl key.

Moving or Copying Files and Folders CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Moving or Copying Files and Folders Another way to move or copy files and folders is to use the clipboard, a temporary storage area in Windows on which objects are stored when you copy or move them. To use the Clipboard, Cutting (moving) - right-click a file or folder, and then on the shortcut menu, click Cut to remove the file or folder from its current location Copying right-click a file or folder, and then on the shortcut menu, click Copy to duplicate the file or folder on the Clipboard, leaving the original in its original location. To paste the contents of the Clipboard, right-click a blank area of the folder window in which you want to put the moved or copied file or folder, and then on the shortcut menu, click Paste.

Moving or Copying Files and Folders CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Moving or Copying Files and Folders Dragging a file and folder using the right mouse button. To use this method, Right click an hold down the right mouse button Drag the file or folder to the location where you wand to move or copy the item Release the right mouse button and from the list that appears select either copy here or move here. Do not select create a short cut.

Naming and Renaming Files CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Naming and Renaming Files Three parts of a filename: Main part Dot File extension Filenames cannot contain the \ / ? : * “ <> | symbols

CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files File Extensions File extensions indicate the application that created the file. .docx .pptx .xlrx. File extensions are not always visible. You can also tell the program that created the document by the icon in front of the file name.

Naming and Renaming Files CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Naming and Renaming Files Use common names Don’t change the file extension. Find a balance between too short and too long.

Deleting Files and Folders CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Deleting Files and Folders You should periodically delete unneeded files and folders so that your folders and drives don’t get cluttered. When you delete a file or folder from the hard drive, the file or folder and all of its contents are moved to the Recycle Bin. After you empty the Recycle Bin, you can no longer recover the files it contained. File deleted from external storage devices such as USB drives are not placed in the Recycling Bin.

Working with Compressed Files CMPTR Chapter 8: Managing Your Files Working with Compressed Files Topics Covered: Creating a Compressed Folder Extracting a Compressed Folder
