COMP 4, Summer 2005 – Session IILab-03: Understanding Directory Structure andFile Management ToolsTotal Points Possible: 25Due Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2005 at 1:15 PM (start of class)TURN INLAB-03 SUMMARYCOMP 4, Summer 2005 – Session IILab-03: Understanding Directory Structure andFile Management Tools………………………………………………………………………………………………………Total Points Possible: 25Due Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2005 at 1:15 PM (start of class)………………………………………………………………………………………………………After attending class and completing this assignment, you should be familiar with file and folder structure and management, and how to navigate through the Windows file structure effectively. BOOKS NEEDED- Shelly Cashman Vermaat Office 2003 workbookFILES NEEDED- Interactive Labs. Found on your “Book-on-CD” (back of Textbook) under “Classic Labs”…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………SECTION I: USING FILES (PRACTICE for BEGINNERS)…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………A. RUN AN INTERACTIVE LAB: USING FILESThe following interactive lab assignment is one of the very best ways I have seen to help beginners or intermediate beginners to understand some extremely important fundamental concepts: What happens to the screen, to primary memory, and on the disk when you create a file? Or when you type words in a file? Or save a file? Open a file? Revise a file? Re-save a file? Save a file with another name, using Save As? Delete a file? Understanding these concepts will make your life so much easier-not only for this course, but anytime you use a PC. 1. Close any running applications and any open windows.- INSERT “Book-on-CD” into CD drive; wait a few seconds. A window will pop up.- CLICK “Open a Classic Course Lab”. A menu with very many choices will appear.- CLICK on “Using Files”.- ENTER your name and the Session ID (type “COMP 4”). This is important for the final print-out.- Now CLICK on the “Steps” button and work through the topics pages, clicking the blue “Next page” arrow when you’re done with each page. Make sure you read and work through all topics of this interactive lab. Print your Quick Check Summary for turn-in (that’s the result sheet that will pop up after the tutorial was completed). You will also record some answers on the back of that Quick Check summary, below.) 2. Now CLICK the “Explore” button and use the simulated computer to perform the following tasks in the order shown:a. Create a new document that contains your full name, and the city/state/country in which you were born. Save this document as INFO on the simulated floppy disk. b. Create another document that contains TWO of your favorite foods. Save this document as FOODS.c. Create another file containing your TWO favorite courses at UNC. Name this file COURSES.d. Now, open the FOODS file and add another one of your favorite foods. Save this file without changing its name.e. Open the INFO file. Change this document so that it contains only your full name and your major (if undeclared, just use Undeclared.) Save this document AS a new document called MAJOR. f. Now WRITE DOWN on the BACK of your Quick Check Summary (from step 1 above), labeled as 2-f., exactlyhow many files are on the simulated floppy disk at this moment.g. Under that, WRITE DOWN, labeled as 2-g, the exact Contents of each file; that is, write each file name and its contents (making sure you are clear as to what is in which file).h. Now, delete all of the files.3. Now again use the simulated computer to perform the following tasks in the order shown.a. Create a file called MOVIES that contains the name of one of your favorite movies. b. Create another document that contains a five-number zip code of your hometown, and call this file HOMEZIP.c. Completely revise the contents of the HOMEZIP file-that is, make up a different zip code (any five digits), but save the file as NEWZIP. d. Revise the MOVIES file so that it also contains a favorite book; but save that file as FAVORITES. e. Now delete the MOVIES file. f. WRITE down on back of your Quick Check Summary, labeled as letter 3-f, the number of files that are on the simulated disk at present.4. Exit the simulated computer by using the File menu in the top left corner and by selecting “Exit”. Click STOP button.…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………SECTION II: FILE MANAGEMENT (PRACTICE for BEGINNERS) …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………A. RUN AN INTERACTIVE LAB: WINDOWS DIRECTORIES, FOLDERS, AND FILES There is nothing more helpful to demonstrate file management and directory structure on a PC than the ”Windows Directories, Folders, and Files” interactive lab that is on the “Book-on-CD” that comes with your textbook. This is a really useful tutorial. Pay particular attention to the tree structure and file specification discussion in your Textbook.1. Close any running applications. Close any open windows.- INSERT “Book-on-CD” into CD drive; wait a few seconds. A window will pop up.- CLICK “Open a Classic Course Lab”. A menu with very many choices will appear.- CLICK on “Windows Directories, Files, and Folders”.- ENTER your name and the Session ID (type “COMP 4”).- Now CLICK on the “Steps” button. Make sure you work through all topics of that interactive lab. Print your Quick Check Summary for turn-in (that’s the result sheet that will pop up after the tutorial was completed). You will also record some answers on the back of that Quick Check summary, below.) 2. Now CLICK the “Explore” button and use the simulated windows directories, folders and files to perform the following tasks in the order shown:a. How many folders and how many files are in the root directory of the C: drive?b. How many folders and how many files are in the root directory of the A: drive?c. How many folders and how many files are in the C:\Windows directory of the C: drive?d. Are there any data files
