1. Files, User Interfaces, and the OS Files: programs (.exe); data (.jpg,.html,.doc, etc.) User Interface: used to run programs and manage files and folders through the OS. User Interface also manages and controls other devices (printers, disk drives, displays, networks)

2. Communicating with the OS User Interface … but what does a User Interface look like? Operating System

13. The Command Prompt

14. Types of User Interfaces Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) - Windows, menus, icons, dialog boxes - visual/graphic “point-and-click” interface Command Line User Interfaces: text-based commands and messages Some systems offer both

21. Viewing the contents of a Folder In DOS “Folders” = “Directories” So type “dir” followed by enter at the command prompt: D:\CS100\CS100 Lectures >dir The prompt is the path in the folder tree

22. File Organization & Management Files are organized hierarchically in Trees Contained within Folders A path in DOS is a path in the tree:

27. File Management Change Folder/Directory Make Folder/Directory Copy Files Delete and Undelete Files Rename Files

28. Change Drive/Folder/Directory GUI (Windows or Mac) -double click on folders (up & down the tree) DOS: to change from C:\> to D:\CS100 -type “d:” -Then type “cd cs100” (cd = change directory) -Type “cd \” to get back to the root (top of tree)

29. Make Folder/Directory GUI (Windows or Mac) -File > New > Folder DOS: to make a new folder “gronk” -type “mkdir gronk” -To remove/delete: type “rmdir gronk”

30. Copying Files GUI (Windows or Mac) -“drag & drop” DOS: to copy a file “foo.doc” to d:\cs100 -type “copy foo.doc d:\cs100” -To rename as you copy Type “copy foo.doc d:\cs100\newname”

35. Editing Files GUI (Windows or Mac) -Edit from within the application … or … -Open with Notepad as shown with html files

36. Review User Interfaces allow us to communicate with the OS User Interfaces: Graphical and Command-line flavors UIs can be used to run programs and manage files The User Interface can also be used to manage and control other devices (printers, disk drives, displays, networks)
