IN THIS CHAPTER
As you work with a computer creating more and more documents, you need to find a way to keep this information organized. Without a good organizational method, all your files are lumped together in one place. This is the equivalent of shoving all your files into one filing cabinet. Keeping your files organized provides many benefits. First, you can more easily find the folder or file you want. Second, you can keep your disk running in good shape by periodically weeding out old files. Third, with a good setup, backing up files is easier. (Chapter 17 covers backing up files.) Good file management does not take that long and involves just a few key ideas. This chapter covers these ideas as well as explains the important tasks for working with files. |
