How to open My computer
2. Double-click the My Computer icon, this
icon is almost always located on the top-left portion of the desktop and should
look similar to the icon shown earlier. Below are two examples of what should
appear when My Computer is open.
Drive listing in My Computer
Browsing My Computer in Windows 2000
You can also access My Computer or Computer
through the start menu,
Using My Computer
Once My Computer is open you'll
see all available drives on your computer. For most users, you'll only be
concerned with the Local Disc (C:) drive, which is the hard drive and what stores all your files. Double-click this drive icon to
open it and view of its contents.
Tip: If
you're looking for a document such as a word processor file you've created,
music file, picture, or other personal file it's likely that it's contained in
your documents folder. This folder is displayed in My computer as a folder and
usually contains your name. For example, if your username was John, this folder
would be named John's Documents.
Finding files in My
Computer
If you're having trouble
finding where one of your files is stored, use the Windows find feature to find
the file. To do this from within My Computer either click on File and then
Search or right-click on the C: drive or other folder you wish to search and
click Search.
In the Search window,
type the name or part of the name of the file you're trying to find.
Adjust system settings
with your computer
If you wish to manage
your computer or view other settings and information about your computer
instead of double-clicking the My Computer icon to open it, right-click on the My Computer icon and click Properties. Performing these
steps will open your System Properties (the same window accessible through the Control Panel).
