How to Use Windows File Explorer, Part 5 of 5: Shortcuts, Recycle Bin, Hidden Files and Other Tips

Video Description

In this final part of the five part series on using Windows File Explorer, you'll learn a grab bag of tips and information--information that didn't really fit in one of the previous videos. You'll learn about file shortcuts, what they are and how to make your own. You'll learn how to work with multiple copies of File Explorer at the same time, and why you would do that. You'll gain a new understanding of file viewing layouts, and how to set them for any folder you are using. You'll also learn to take control of the information you see about your files by adding data columns to a view and by sorting files and folders. You'll learn how to view hidden files and how to hide/unhide files. You'll learn how to rename a drive, which is handled differently from renaming files and folders. You'll also learn how to rescue deleted files from the Recycle Bin including finding files you may have accidentally deleted recently, and how manage the files that are in your Recycle Bin. You'll learn how the file dialog boxes in most programs are very similar to File Explorer, and how you can apply the same File Explorer techniques to help you manipulate files while using file dialog boxes in most programs. You'll also learn how to add items to the Quick Access section of the Navigation Pane. In this five part video tutorial, you'll learn all about the File Explorer program interface, how to move files, copy files, rename files, duplicate files, find missing files, manage libraries, and so much more.
