1- Dialog boxes
A dialog box is a special type of window that asks you a question, allows you to
select options to perform a task, or provides you with information. You'll often see
dialog boxes when a program or Windows needs a response from you before it can
continue. Unlike regular windows, most dialog boxes can't be maximized,
minimized, or resized. They can, however, be moved.

Window part What it's useful for


Navigation pane: Use the navigation pane to access libraries, folders, saved
searches, and even entire hard disks.

Back and Forward buttons: Use the Back button and the Forward button
to navigate to other folders or libraries you've already opened without
closing the current window. These buttons work together with the address
bar; after you use the address bar to change folders.
Toolbar: Use the toolbar to perform common tasks, such as changing the appearance
of your files and folders, burning files to a CD, or starting a digital picture
slide show.
Address bar: Use the address bar to navigate to a different folder or library or to go
back to a previous one.
1.Rename • Click the file or folder to select it
• Click the organize button on the toolbar, and then click Rename
• With the name selected highlights, type a new name, or click to position
the insertion point, and then edit the name.

• Press Enter.
2.Copying
When you copy an item, the original item remains in its original location—
plus you have the new copy
• Open the location that contains the file you want to copy.
• Right-click the file, and then click Copy.
• Open the location where you want to store the copy.
• Right-click an empty space within the location, and then click Paste. The
copy of the original file is now stored in the new location.
3.Moving (cut)
Moving a file (or folder) is different from copying it. Moving cuts the item
from its previous location and places it in a new location. Copying leaves
the original item where it was and creates a copy of the item elsewhere. In
other words, when you copy something, you end up with two of it. When
you move something, you only have the one thing.
• Open the drive or folder containing the file or folder you want to move.
• Select the files or folders you want to move.
• Click the Organize button on the toolbar, and then click Cut.
• Display the destination folder where you want to move the files or folder.
• Click the Organize button on the toolbar, and then click Paste
4.Create a Folder
• Open the drive or folder where you want to create a folder.
• Click the New folder button on the toolbar.
• With the New Folder name selected, type a new name.
• Press Enter.

5.Deleting
• Select the file or folder.
• Click the Organize button and select Delete from the
pull-down menu.
• After you select delete a confirmation message
appears.
• You can permanently delete a file from your computer
without sending it to the Recycle Bin by clicking the
file and then pressing Shift + Delete

• When you delete a file or folder from your hard disk, it's not deleted right away.
Instead, it's stored in the Recycle Bin until the Recycle Bin is emptied.
• If you delete a file or folder from a network folder or from a USB flash drive, it
might be permanently deleted rather than being stored in the Recycle Bin.
• If a file can’t be deleted, it might be in use by a program that's currently running.
Try closing the program or restarting your computer to fix the problem. For more
information.
