Our aim is to make you familiar with the Microsoft Windows environment (referred to here as Windows) and conventions in order to manage your files effectively.

Windows is the operating system at the core of your computer. Every other piece of software you use is influenced and controlled by the operating system. In this course we cover such features as:

  • Understanding why we need to manage our files.
  • Identifying and using the tools available to manage our files.
  • Creating folders to divide our storage.
  • Moving, copying and deleting files.
  • Locating files by specifying partial names, creation dates or words contained in the files.

It is important that you use your new skills as soon as possible on completion of this training course. We encourage you to take your own notes and to review your Course Guide once you are back at your workplace.
