ESSAY

 

1. Describe three of the five navigation pane elements that help you quickly locate files.

 

ANS:

Favorites give you fast access to folders you use frequently. Simply drag a folder or file to the Favorites list, and you won’t have to click through layers of folders to reach it. The Favorites list includes SkyDrive, an Internet-based storage location for saving files in the cloud.

 

Libraries are virtual folders that contain links to folders and files. Windows is preconfigured with four libraries, but you can make your own, for example, to hold a set of links to family history material that’s stored in document and photo folders.

 

Homegroup offers access to shared folders, files, and printers on computers in a home network. When your computer joins a homegroup, the computers for other members of the group are listed under the Homegroup option.

 

Computer gives you access to folders on all devices connected to your computer. When accessing files stored on CDs or USB flash drives, use the Computer link.

 

Network provides a link to folders stored on local area network file servers and other network users’ computers that you have permission to access.

 

PTS:   1                    REF:   74                  TOP:   Critical Thinking

 

2. Describe folders and libraries and give examples of each.

 

ANS:

To maintain well organized storage, you will certainly want to create additional folders. You might also decide to create additional libraries.

 

Let’s consider folders first. Your predefined folders include My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, My Videos, and Downloads. That’s a good start, but these folders can quickly accumulate many files that eventually become unwieldy to work with.

 

You can create subfolders and use them to divide files into more manageable groups. To do so, simply right-click a folder, select New, then select Folder. Enter a name for the subfolder. Once the subfolder is created, you can move files into it.

 

Next, consider libraries. Windows provides four predefined libraries: Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos. These library names are deceptively similar to the names of your predefined folders, but libraries and folders are not the same.

 

A library is similar to a folder only in the sense that it can be used to group similar files; however, a library doesn’t actually store files. Instead, it contains a set of links to files that are stored on various devices and in various folders.

 

To understand how you might use libraries, suppose you’re working on a project that uses a variety of documents and music. You can create a library for the project that includes folders from My Documents and Public Music. These folders remain in their original locations, but the files they contain all appear in the listing for the new library.
