Unfortunately, many have yet to discover the most important program in Windows.
It's the file manager and it's called, "Windows Explorer".
IT TELLS YA' WHERE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS LOCATED ON YOUR COMPUTER!
and... No, it's not the same as Internet Explorer.
Smart computer operators (like good office employees) ALWAYS know where they
put things!
How do you open, "Windows Explorer?"
Follow these steps:
1. Click on START the lower left corner of your screen.
2. Move up to PROGRAMS
3. Move over to the right long listing and find WINDOWS EXPLORER.
4. Click on WINDOWS EXPLORER
5. When the program opens you should see a split window with little folders in the
left-side window.
Now I'm not gonna' tell ya everything but... a clue is that is constructed
just like your office. It has file cabinets with drawers
(they're called floppy, Drive C:,CD ROM, etc.) In those drawers are folders
and in those folders are files. Slick huh!
Now if you were to download something on your computer you might want to know
where YOU PUT IT... so you don't spend the next 2 weeks hunting it, right?
That's what we're gonna do here so... follow these steps:
1. Look in the left side window and find your Main C: hard drive
Make certain it's highlighted... if its not - left click once on it to highlight it.
2. Now look in the top left hand corner and find FILE and left click on it.
3. directly below you will see NEW.
Put your mouse on top of NEW and you will see to its right, FOLDER.
Click on FOLDER.
4. If you did it right, you should see a new folder on the right side window on the
bottom blinking at you.
5. Type in the word, "TEMP" and then press ENTER key on your keyboard.
You have now created a new directory/folder called TEMP. This is where we are going to
put the download program.
