Jan's Working with Windows 10:
Files & Folders: Summary
In the project Files & Folders you have learned a
lot about managing your documents. You used different views
in File Explorer windows. You used Open and Save As dialogs. You learned to create, move, copy,
delete, restore, and rename folders and files. You used several different
methods - the mouse, the keyboard, the ribbon, and context menus. You opened
applications using Start menu shortcuts, directly from the folder tree, and with Search. You created a text document and an image. You opened documents directly from the listing of files
and folders, from an Open dialog, and from a Recent Files list. You learned how important it is to make backup copies of your work.
You now have the skills to start using major applications
to do real work. Of course there is a lot more to learn.
