Practical Task - GUI
Our first activity with the VM is to create a basic set-up of folders & files
You’ll do it using the GUI
Then we’ll play around with it using the command line
Let’s start by finding My Documents…

8. Practical Task - GUI 1 Root Directory Is the hard drive for C:
Is a folder

9. Practical Task - GUI 1 This is a strange part of the file path
It shows how the OS handles multiple users
Windows stores Profiles for different users
And so this is part of the ‘Profile Path’
So each user gets their own My Documents
We’ll come back to this when doing Users…

10. Practical Task - GUI 1 Root Directory Profile Path Is the hard drive
The user’s ‘home’ folder
Profile Path
System folders that let the OS handle multiple users

11. Now make this file structure…
My Documents
One
Two
Hello.txt
Bye.txt

14. Using GUI for Folders & Files4
Using GUI for Folders & Files
You have used the GUI to create a basic set-up of folders & files
Now we’ll play around with it using the command line
Normally, you can’t do this on school PCs
It’s blocked for ordinary users (students)
That’s part of our network security policy
But on the VM, you can run the command line…
