MANAGING FILES AND FOLDERS IN WINDOWS 11

                 Windows 11 allows us to organise our files and folders in a well managed hierarchical structure using a special program
                 called Windows Explorer. It displays all the disk drives, folders, subfolders, and files on our computer system. We use
                 Windows Explorer to find, copy, delete, launch, and even configure programs and documents.
                 The Windows Explorer displays the content in a hierarchical form divided into two sections:
                 •  Left Section shows the directory tree, containing the list of folders and subfolders that we have on our system.
                   On this side only folders and sub folders appear but no files such as desktop, documents, downloads, etc. appear.
                 •  Right Section displays the content of the folder that we have opened on the left section. This section shows its
                   subfolders and files. Depending on the type of view that we have activated, we will see different types of information
                   regarding the files.

                 There are three different ways to access Windows Explorer:
                 Method 1:  Select the Windows Explorer icon on the Taskbar.                   To open the file explorer:
