Introductionm0a5fddf4682819b7_1528450127855_0Introduction

The teacher conducts a chat with students about organizing files and folders on the computer.

Think about the example of your desk as you organize things on it (e.g. binders, drawers). How can you organize files and folders in your computer resources?

Procedurem0a5fddf4682819b7_1528446435040_0Procedure

Operations on files and folders:

Files and folders allow you to perform various types of operations to organize them on your computer's local disk (as well as in the cloud). These operations can be performed on individual files or folders, as well as on their groups. To perform an operation on a group of objects, first select them.

To select a single file or folder, click on it with the left mouse button - selected object is highlighted.

You can select a group of objects in three ways.

1. Press and hold the CTRL button and then left‑click on the individual files or folders that you want to select. Clicking again will cancel the selection (the object will stop being highlighted).
2. Drag the mouse cursor with the left mouse button pressed over the area containing the selected objects.3. Point to the first object and then hold down the SHIFT key and click the last object - all objects lying between the first and the last object will be highlighted.

To select all files or folders in the current location, use the key combination CTRL + A (select all).

In macOS, instead of the CTRL key, the Command key is used.

[Illustration 1]

Task 1

Create a folder called TEST on the Desktop. Then create in it three text files with the names 1, 2, 3. Practice three ways to select an object and a group of objects.

CopyingcopyingCopying:

Copying is the process of duplicating data stored in electronic form onto a storage medium or other computer memory location.

To copycopycopy an object or group of objects, select objects, right‑click on the selection and choose Copy from the drop‑down menu. Then right‑click in the desired location and choose PastepastePaste from the pop‑up menu.

To speed up file copying you can use keyboard shortcuts: CTRL + C to copy the file and CTRL + V to paste it.

You can also copy a file or a folder by clicking on it and holding down the left mouse button, and then dragging its icon with the CTRL key pressed to the destination folder.

[Illustration 2]

Task 2

Create a COPYcopyingCOPY folder in the TEST folder, and then copy files 1, 2, 3 to it using the known copyingcopyingcopying methods.

MovingmovingMoving:

Moving is an operation of transferring an object from one place of computer memory to another.

To move a file, follow the same procedure as copying - but instead of the Copy command (CTRL + C) use the CutcutCut command (CTRL + X).

You can also move a file or folder by clicking on it and holding down the left mouse button, and then dragging its icon to the destination folder.

[Illustration 3]

Task 3

Open the TEST folder, and then move files 1, 2, 3 to the Desktop using the known moving methods.

Remember:

When copying, in the destination folder window a copy of the file or folder appears. However, when moving, the object disappears from the source folder and appears in the destination folder.

ClipboardclipboardClipboard:

The clipboard is a specially designated part of the computer's memory reserved by the operating system for saving data indicated by the user. The clipboard is mainly used for transferring and copying data - e.g. a fragment of text, graphics or also files and folders. To save data in the clipboard's memory, use the Copy command (CTRL + C) or Cut command (CTRL + X). You can refer to these data by the use of the Paste command (CTRL + V).m0a5fddf4682819b7_1527752256679_0The clipboard is a specially designated part of the computer's memory reserved by the operating system for saving data indicated by the user.

To save data in the clipboard's memory, use the Copy command (CTRL + C) or Cut command (CTRL + X). You can refer to these data by the use of the Paste command (CTRL + V).

DeletingdeletingDeleting:

To free some memory, you can delete objects that are no longer needed. Deleting files or folders does not immediately remove them physically from the computer's resources, but only moves them to the Recycle Binrecycle binRecycle Bin.

To delete an object or group of objects, select them, then right‑click on the selection and choose Delete from the drop‑down menu. The same effect can be obtained by pressing the Delete button.

After opening the Recycle Bin window, there are several options in the Manage tab:

- Empty Recycle Bin - permanently deletes all files placed in the Recycle Binrecycle binRecycle Bin,
- Recycle Bin properties - invokes a dialog box containing information about the location of the Recycle Bin, as well as allows you to set its size and select an option that will cause immediate permanent deletion of the file, without moving to the Recycle Bin,
- Restore all items - restores all deleted objects to the locations from which they were removed,
- Restore selected items - restores selected objects to the locations from which they were removed.

Recycle Bin - is a separate disk space, where files deleted by the user are temporary stored, as well as protection against irreversible loss of accidentally deleted files. It should be remembered that with a large number of files being deleted, Windows will permanently delete the oldest ones placed in the Recycle Binrecycle binRecycle Bin, and if the size of the file being removed exceeds the capacity of the Recycle Bin, the system will ask you to confirm deletion of the file, warning that it will be permanently deleted without possibility of restoration.

Task 4

Delete files 1, 2, 3 using different methods. Then restore them using the Restore selected items option.

File propertiesfile propertiesFile properties:

Each object has its own properties, such as location, type, attributes, name, date of creation or size.

[Illustration 4]

To access the file properties, right‑click on it and select Properties from the drop‑down menu, which opens the dialog with the following tabs - General, Security, Customize, Details and Previous versions.

The General tab - contains information about the type of file, which program opens it, its location, size, when it was created, modified and last used, as well as attributes.

Security tab - you can modify the permissions for a user or groups. Permissions allow you to give full control over the file or to perform individual actions (including modification, reading, writing or special permissions).

The Details tab - contains detailed information about the file - including its description, origin, content.

The Previous versions tab - contains information about previous versions of the file and its modification. Previous versions of the file come from file history or restore points.

Task 5

Open the properties of the file named 1. Read the information on the tabs.

Shortcut to a file or folder:

Considering the number of objects in the computer's memory, it often takes a long time to find this particular one. A shortcut to a file or folder allows you to access it faster - you can create it in a convenient location, for example on your desktop. The shortcut to the program is presented by means of an icon that leads to the program, file or folder, but you can easily recognize it - it has a characteristic arrow symbol in the lower left corner.

[Illustration 5]

To create a shortcut to a file or folder, click on the given location (e.g. on the desktop) with the right mouse button, and then select New and Shortcut from the drop‑down menu. This brings the dialog box where you must select the file location and then the name.

Task 6

In the TEST folder, create shortcuts for the web browser and the My Documents folder.
