Keeping Organized How to set up and use your school work folder

Importance Helps in organization Find school work easily Keeping all your work for your classes in one place Put your personal work in it’s place Makes backing up school work easier ASB Protocol – Everyone does this

Open My Documents and make a new folder Label this folder: Schoolwork-username Are there other ways to make a folder? Are there other ways to name files?

Create folders in the school work folder Open your Schoolwork folder and make folders for all your classes.

Get more information from your work – Show Details What information in details view could help you when looking for files?

Making Details for All folders You have made your folders show in details. Now go to Tools Menu and choose Folder Options.

1.Click on the View Tab. 2.Click on Apply to All folders 3.When the window pops up choose “Yes” 4.Click on Ok

Make a Personal Folder Go to My Documents Create a folder called Personal-username This will be for non-school related things

Making a Desktop Shortcut A shortcut is a very small file that will “shortcut” you to programs, applications, files and folders. You should use them for things you access often. They can be on your desktop

Make a Shortcut to School folder on the Desktop 1.Open My Documents. 2.Right Click on your schoolwork folder. 3.Choose Send To 4.Desktop (create shortcut) Are there other ways to make shortcuts?

Desktop Management No Files or Folders on Desktop Only icons or shortcuts for things used daily School Work & Network Folder Shortcuts Mouse & Pointer are standard Color, Fonts and Background are easy to read Task bar showing Recycled Bin emptied regularly

Why you should not save files on your desktop? NOT a good way to organize files (just like your desk “top” at home) Large amounts of data on the desktop will slow your computer down Possibility of deleting files without knowing Backing up is more difficult

File Naming Protocol The majority of the files students put in their school folder (in their hard drive) should have the following naming protocol: Class–filename–username Example: LA9–FamilyEssay–hunterc Files names should be brief and without spaces. Files are filed in appropriate places (no stray files)
