Unit 2: Activity 2: Share how you normally manage your files in your computer. Compare with the feedbacks from others too.

As we are work with documents, presentations, graphics, and other files all day. And then how much time do you spend looking for files for files that you worked on? There will be a better way to stop the clutter: manage files more effectively. As managing files on computer is a lot of managing paper files, if don’t organize well, data will difficult to identify and find.

Here is the way we manages our files, store all of data in a single location. Mostly, it documents folder built into Windows. Windows 10 in recently will locate file at Local Disk C or D (drive C or D). As Windows 10 refers to this folder as User’s Files, and it will typically allowed us found when we labelled with username. Within this default folder we will find multiple folders here with names like My Pictures, My Music and My Videos. This encourages us to group similar file types together. This structure not only makes it easier to locate your files quickly.   

Secondly, we create shortcuts in desktop. This will easier to keep files properly organize and easy to access. Instead of copying a word document to your desktop for quick and easy access. This will avoid unnecessary file duplication while at the same time keeping in your files where they belong. Plus, if we accidently delete the shortcut from desktop, you don’t have to worry about recovering the files.

Third, group projects components together. You can store the similar project into a single folder. As students are often given task, and mostly solved by groups, for anyone working in particular project, regardless of their role on the project, will notice whatever they needed.
