Basic File Management

Have a screenshot!
1. When you perform work with programs such as spreadsheets, word processing files and web page editors (applications) on the computer, you save your work to a location on the computer using a filename (that you make up) with and extension (usually three letters) that may be automatically assigned by the program that you are using.  (e.g. webpage.htm)

2. It is imperative that you know "where" this file is being saved on the computer, and that you remember or assocaite the filename that you use with the work that the file contains.
(e.g. I was working in MS Word on my student letter for the beginning of the year and I save the file as a:\student letter.doc)  I know that a:\ represents the 3.5" floppy drive,
student letter.doc is my filename, and the .doc extension means that it is a MS Word document.

3. Other locations where Office Suite files might be saved by default are the My Documents folder for the computer that you were using (probably c:\my documents) where c:\ represents the first hard drive installed on most computers.  The path to a file in this directory would look like c:\my documents\myfile.xls   where  c: is the hard disk, \my documents is a folder or directory on the c: disk, and myfile.xls is a file named myfile created in MS Excel, a spreadsheet.
