7.2 Files / Documents
-
All files/documents that you have created and saved, and all the programs that you have installed or downloaded from the Internet are stored in your computer as files.
-
If you click on any element in the left pane (Figure 10), the right pane will list the folders and files (if any) of the current selected element. Figure 11 shows the view that will appear if you click on Local Disk (C :) on your Computer.
-
Double click the folder if you want to view the contents in it.
Figure 11: Files and Folders
-
A filename consists of two parts: a main filename and a file extension. The file extension determines what type of programs that will be used by windows when you double click the file to open it.
-
Filenames and folder names can be very long, but they can’t contain the following characters:
/ \ : * ? “ < > |
E.g. Double-click a text file (with the .txt extension) and it will automatically open in Notepad. How do you open the file in Word instead? By changing the default file association for all text files. A file association is something Windows uses to figure out which program should open a particular file. You can change a file association permanently, or for only one instance. You can change the default file association with these simple steps.
-
Right-click a file.
-
Select "Open With..."
-
Select a program.
-
Place a check mark next to "Always use this program to open this type of file" if you want to permanently change its file association. Otherwise, this will be a one-time solution.
-
Click OK.
