MANAGING FILES OR FOLDERS
When you install any program, it creates its own folder on your hard disk where
it keeps most of its files. This helps your computer system to find the right files to
use when running a program. Keeping files organised in folders can also help when
you are working with your PC. You can use folders to sort your files into separate
categories. Here is a list of some of the common folders in which you can store
your file/folder.
Documents: This folder is mainly used to store Writer files, Calc files, Impress
files and other business oriented files.
Pictures: This folder is used to store all your digital pictures that can be copied
from a camera or downloaded from the Internet.
Music: This folder is used to store music files, such as songs copied from an
audio CD or downloaded from the Internet.
Videos: This folder is used to store videos taken from a digital camera or
downloaded from the Internet.
Downloads: This folder is used to store the files that are downloaded from the
Internet.
For this, you need to learn to create folders and subfolders, naming them, renaming
them when needed, delete when they are not needed, etc.
