Learning Objective

What do you already know about organizing files on your computer?

Understanding File Management

File management involves organizing, moving, and copying files in a systematic manner on a computer.

Creating Folders

Folders are like digital containers used to store and organize files. You can create them to group related files together.

Moving Files

Moving files involves transferring them from one location to another, such as from one folder to another or from the desktop to a folder.

Copying Files

Copying files creates duplicates of the original files, allowing you to keep the original and have a copy in another location.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts can be used to perform file management tasks more efficiently, such as Ctrl+C (copy) and Ctrl+V (paste).
