The same can be said for Excel, Powerpoint, or any other application out there. And it doesn’t matter if you’re using a MAC or a PC running on Windows…any version of Windows.
That said, all computers are set up with a few default folders. Here is what my Windows PC default folders look like:
Yep, that’s what most of them look like.
Then, when you start using applications, in most cases, all the files will be saved in the “default” folder called “Documents.” All your Word, Excel and PowerPoint files will all get saved in that one folder. All mixed together.
Now, my next thought would be, why would you want files all organized by the application you used to create them? Wouldn’t it make more sense to organize your files by their content?
In order to do this you would need to take a few minutes to get familair with the built in Windows Explorer.
- To get you started, you’ll click on the yellow folder button located on the Windows Task Bar at the bottom of the screen.
- Once you’re in there, you’ll see all kinds of folders and files.
But rather than retyping out all the guidelines here, I’ve already put all that information in the PC Basics 103: Managing Your Files course. Click to sign up and use this 50% off code at check out to get the course at 1/2 price:
