Lesson 8 - Review

Let's take a moment to review:
If you wanted to: You would do it from:
Start a program Start Menu/Programs
Change a setting Control Panel
Find a recently opened document My Documents
Shut down your computerStart Menu/Shutdown
Use a MS-DOS prompt Start/Programs
Find the Help screen Start/Help or Windows Explorer/Help
Search for a file or folderStart/Find or Windows Explorer/Tools
Go to the Control PanelStart/Settings or My Computer
Copy a file or folderMy Computer or Windows Explorer
Move a file or folderMy Computer or Windows Explorer
Get help with Windows*Start/Help or Windows Explorer/Help

I have to say it one more time.....it depends on who set up your computer. Everyone has his or her own ideas about where things should be kept. And folks who are smart enough to set up a computer always figure that their way is best. Now that you know how to move things around, you have more options than to just use the computer that someone else set up. You might even want to create your own chart like the one above as a reminder of the easiest ways for you to access the programs you care about.

You can move anything you yourself created. If you move a program, be sure you move all the files connected to that program including any shortcuts that program may have.

For help anytime, use the Help screens for Windows*.
