How to save your files and your sanity

Your operating system – Windows – consists of hundreds of files. They are placed in a tree of folders. Similarly, every application on your computer – a word processor, spreadsheet, Internet browser, game, graphics editor or anything else – consists of one or more files which occupy their own folders.

When you start working, surfing or playing you add to these hundreds, possibly thousands of files, until your hard disk is filled up.

No wonder that a file from time to time goes astray. It’s easy to forget what name you have given a document, or which folder you placed it in.

No need to despair. In fact, it’s rather hard to lose a file completely unless you delete it (even then you can often recover it) or copy another file with the same name over the top of it. Windows comes with an effective file sniffer dog and, in addition, you can do a lot of things yourself to prevent files from going astray.
