Can someone tell me where I can find WindowsExplorer in Vista? How is it
accessed? Where is the icon for it as in XP? We have a new Laptop with
Vista Home Supreme and can't find where our personal files will be located.
Helpfiles have not helped. I want to create folders in WindowsExplorer to
save different things, plus download a lot of folders from a desktop and
can't find WindowsExplorer. Please help as I only have until Thursday to do
this.

TIA

user files are in C:\users\username
I don't use Windows Explorer anyway
I just click the Computer icon on the desktop, then the drive and folder
desired
Then right click and select New>Folder from the menu

Nothing has changed with Windows Explorer since XP.

Start>Programs>Accessories>Right-click on Windows Explorer>Send To>make a
shortcut for it on the Desktop.

Vista Home Supreme? You mean Vista Home Premium?


The quickest way to create and organize new folders in Vista is to use the
Vista folders that are already provided. Go to Start (click on orb in lower
left corner) > Documents. Open Documents and use that area to put all of
your new folders. If you want a seperate folder for your music or pictures
go to Start menu and click on them. To see all the folders that Vista has
already set up for you go to Start Menu and click on the top item in the
right hand menu (should be your user name). A Windows Explorer should open
up revealing all the Folders that you can use right away for storing new
folders and files.


Best of luck...
