Storing and Accessing All “stuff” stored in FILES

What stuff: Documents

Spreadsheets

Pictures

Programs

Storing and Accessing Secondary Storage devices:

Called drives Identified with a single letter

followed by a colon (ex. A:, C:)

SS devices save files to a media

Ex. Hard Drive saves files to a Hard Disk, Zip Drives save to Zip Disks

The thumb drive letter may be different on different computers!

Storing and Accessing Easiest way to access

storage: “Computer” window

Shows each device: Name Icon representing device type

To see info about device Right click Choose Properties

How does Windows decide which app to open the file with?

You can control which app by: Right clicking Select Open With

Storing and Accessing You will accumulate many files

One way to organize files is with FOLDERS (aka Directories)

Each storage device has a root directory

You can create subdirectories (subfolders) within the root

Storing and Accessing Directories allow you to group files

Grouping allows you to find files faster

Users group files by:

File type (music, documents, etc.)

Function (CGS1060, Xmas, etc.)

Application (WORD, Java, etc.)

Must empty recycle bin to really delete

Files More than one file at a time can be

operated on

This is done by selecting multiple files and then performing any of the previous operations

Select multiple files: On a blank area of the file list, left

click and hold Drag the mouse pointer (a box will

be drawn as pointer is moved) All files in box are selected

Files: Backing Up Make duplicates of all your

class files!!! Insert diskette/memory stick Copy files to C: Insert new diskette/memory stick Copy files from C: to

diskette/memory stick

Alternative: Send email to yourself with copy of

file(s) attached

Files: Searching

If you've forgotten the name of the file or where you put it, click Start

Type in name of file

The Search Results window will be displayed

If it doesn’t return what you want click See more results

Displays more detail but more importantly lets you define more

specific search details

Notice more specific search brings back results that weren’t shown the

first time

Notice also that only the file names were checked. Now there is option to check file contents – will take longer

Assignment Windows Tutorial Unit B

Unit B's IC 3 (Independent Challenge 3)

Turn in: email the file Careers.rtf and a diagram of the career days folder/file structure

Use Word, PP or any graphics app to create diagram

This is an example of a folder/file diagram:

Newstuff

AnotherDocFile – Copy.txt AnotherDocFile.txt NewDoc.txt

Points to Remember Operating Systems enable the

computer hardware to work

Windows provides a GUI to perform system functions and access apps

Many apps allow users to perform system functions

Everything on the PC is stored in files and files are grouped into directories (aka folders)
