Second, the familiar "Resource Management "on the face
for beginners friends who, a closer look at the face of explorer is necessary (Figure 1). The title bar displays the drive letter or directory name selected in the browser bar; the menu bar consists of six blocks. In addition to providing some operations and settings, there is also a "help" that our beginners need very much; some toolbars are concentrated. The operations we use are like "back", "forward", "up", etc. The gray button on the toolbar indicates that it is not currently available. In addition, the browser bar and the content bar under it can intuitively operate on files and the like. The status bar has a great effect, and it can display the number of files and size of the files we selected in real time. Figure

three hands-on learning file operations
Explorer great ability, but this article we are mainly talking about file operations, file operations will in fact it moves.
1. Expand and shrink the directory
There are some "+" signs in front of some options in the browser bar. Click the "+" sign to expand the item during operation. The "-" sign (the "+" sign expands to become the "-" sign). Clicking the left mouse button indicates that the directory is shrunk.
Tip: This way, you can choose any of the options in the catalog or options.
2.File selection
After selecting a directory or option in the browser bar, all the contents of the directory or options will be displayed in the content bar. You can select and manipulate files in the content bar.
1) Single selection
If you only need to select one file or directory at a time, we can use the left mouse button directly in the content bar to list the file or directory icon to be selected. Just hit it.
2)Multi-selection
There are three main methods of multi-selection, such as box selection or assistance with Shift key. This content has been explained in the F4 version, and will not be described here. We mainly look at the mouse with the Ctrl key. Ctrl key with the choice is to hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard, and then use the mouse to click on the icon to select (for the wrongly selected file, you can also click the left mouse button on the file icon to cancel the selection) Release the Ctrl key until all selections have been made, which is suitable for file selection of any shape.
Tip: We operate the computer of course, aiming at efficiency, so these three methods can be used together. If you need to select all the files and directories in the content bar at once, you can use the shortcut key "Ctrl" +A" (ie press the "Ctrl" key on the keyboard and the character "A" at the same time, "A" is not case sensitive); if you want to reverse the selection, you can click the menu "Edit → Reverse Selection".
3. Create a new directory or file
In the content bar we can create a new directory or file. After selecting the drive letter or directory to be created in the browser bar, right-click in the blank space of the content bar, select "New" from the pop-up menu, and select "Folder" in the secondary menu to create a new directory. And select another corresponding type of file, you can create a new corresponding file.
Tip: We can "folder" and "directory" is the same as the file name for the Windows folder is generated, and the directory is from the DOS system has passed the extension of the call. 4. Cut
file copy method of operation for such
Explorer is very simple, just drag it. When cutting, hold down the left mouse button on the selected file icon, drag the icon into the destination folder (or press Ctrl+X), then press Ctrl+V to the target folder. ); copy operation is to first select the file to be copied, then hold down the "Ctrl" key on the keyboard, move the pointer to the selection area and hold down the left mouse button to drag into the destination folder. If you move the file "gj.wmv" into the "Video" folder, you can use the mouse to drag directly (Figure 2), it is very convenient!
