Tips

My Computer

You know about the My Computer folder, right? It's the main folder that holds all of the different hard disk drives that we use for different things on our computer. For example, the C: drive, the A: drive (if you have a floppy disk drive) and all of those removable disk drives for flash drives, etc. They all sit right in the My Computer folder.

Okay, so now that we've established that, how can we actually get to it? Most of us have an icon for it sitting right on our desktop. This is a very easy way to access it, but what if you don't want to use an icon for it?

There's another way to access the My Computer folder.  Go to your Start menu and look for it. When you click on Start, look to the left and you will see an option for My Computer. Just click on that and you will be able to choose the particular drive you want to go to right from there.

You will see options for the My Documents, My Pictures, My Music and My Network Places in the list as well.
