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.

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.
