                  We have learnt that whatever we do on a computer, we basically work on data. Whatever we save
                  in the computer like documents, songs, images, presentations or excel sheets all are called files.
                  All the files that belong to the same category can be grouped or saved together in a folder. Data

                  in a computer can be arranged in the form of files or folders.
                       UNDERSTANDING WINDOWS EXPLORER

                  Windows  Explorer  is  the  file  manager  of  Windows  operating
                  system. It helps us to organise and manage files and folders. It
                  provides a graphical user interface for accessing the file systems.
                  When you open the Windows Explorer, you will see the icons of
                  all drives of your computer.

                  The hard disk of a computer is divided into smaller parts known
                  as partitions that make it easier for us to access files and folders.
                  These partitions are  called drives. All these drives are  usually
                  represented by different letters like C: Drive, D: Drive, F: Drive,
                  H: Drive and so on. A computer hard disk is found inside the
                  CPU. We need to perform the following steps to open  the
                  Windows Explorer window:
                  Open the Windows Explorer by clicking Start → All Programs
                  → Accessories → Windows Explorer. The Windows Explorer

                  window appears.
