Single-click                                                                             click
                 This is the most common task performed by a mouse in Windows 11. We can select a program,
                 file, folder, menu, sub-menu, option, etc. using a single left mouse click. Whichever option is to
                 be selected, move the mouse pointer to point to that area and do a single left mouse click to
                 select that option.
                    click
                  click
                                   Double-click

                                   When we use the left button to click twice in quick succession, then, it is called a double click.
                                   We generally use double click to open a file/folder, to open a specific program or application
                                   software.




                 Right-click                                                                                         click

                 To display context based pop-up menu or shortcut menu, we use the right mouse button click. For
                 example right clicking on a cell in a spreadsheet gives you important formatting features of the cell.
                                          release
                   press     move                   Drag and Drop



                                                     Drag and Drop is used to shift the location of a file, folder or a program. We
                                                     select an object and press the left button down. Without releasing the mouse
                                                     button, drag the object to a new location and release the mouse button to
                                                     drop it onto a new location.



                 Hovering

                 Hovering means moving the cursor over an option or an object without clicking it. This action can trigger certain
                 responses from the operating system or software applications, such as displaying tooltips, changing the cursor shape,
                 or highlighting the element.



                         PERFORMING BASIC FILE OPERATIONS

                 In a school or office, each teacher has a dedicated cabinet where they organise files for different students or classes
                 on individual shelves. Similarly, a computer stores information in electronic files, which are organised into separate
                 folders. Managing these electronic files is much easier, as they can be effortlessly copied, moved, renamed, or deleted.

                 What is a File?
                 Any data in the computer is stored in the form of a file. Different types of files store different types of information. That
                 is why a file is said to be a collection of logically related data. Every file has its own unique name which is made up of
                 two parts: file name (A filename can consist of letters, numbers, spaces, and characters) and file name extension (that
                 identifies the file type). They both are separated by period (. ). For example:
                    Mynotes.docx      →    is a Word file.              Essay.odf          →    is an LibreOffice document.
                    Myproject.pptx    →    is a PowerPoint file.         Photo.jpg         →    is an image file.
                    Myfriendslist.xlsx  →   is a Spreadsheet.           Music.mp3          →    is a sound file.
