Your own files in sight

To manage multiple users, Windows also provides a folder for each own files. This folder with further user data can be found under C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]. In your own files there is also a folder that is set up for images- Own pictures – as well as one for own music. Windows has the programs usually required for working with these files on board – the new: The Explorer offers you actively in the task bar. Windows guesses virtually vaccinated by Microsoft programmers, what you want to do with a picture or a piece of music, for example. Just give it a try:

1.) In the Start menu, for example, click on the permanently set up folder Own pictures. It opens the diagonal field Own images in the new Explorer view. Click double on the sample images folder. New visual aids support working step by step: If you do not see the tasks bar in the Explorer, but the folder bar, then click on folder in the toolbar – the view now changes to the task bar. Click Folder again to switch back to the folder bar.

2. Mark an object by clicking on it with the mouse. The Explorer now offers contextual tasks. You can decide whether you want to show the pictures in the folder as a slideshow, order prints online or print the pictures. Of course, the pictures can also be burned directly on CD. If you have XP, you no longer need any extra software for simple burning processes. Burning files works like copying: simply by drag & drop.

 

For example, music editing can be downloaded from the Internet, played back existing files, burned to CD, deleted or sent as a compressed e-mail attachment to a friend.
