Which Windows programs would you use to manage folders and files?
Windows Explorer is the native application to manage folders and files.
How is information stored in files and folders in a directory tree?
Quite a bit of a question;) For a start see the attached link.
What is the folder list?
Just a list of folders that are in your computer, just breaks it down so one can see what files are where.
What is a difference between desktop and wallpaper?
Actually the wallpaper is just the background screen of the desktop and the desktop is where you can see the taskbar, icons and the wallpaper. Wallpaper is only the background while the desktop is the whole screen including the other things in it (ex: icons, files, windows etc.)
How do you share files in Lan network?

Why can't you see your file icons?
"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_cant_you_see_your_file_icons" Um.... I can see my icons. They're in front of me.You might want to rephrase your question, and add more detail. If you are referring to the icons on your desktop, right-click on the desktop > Arrange Icons By > Show Desktop Icons. If you are referring to seeing the large icons in folders, click on the View menu (Or hold ALT and press V), and select either Thumbnails or Icons, depending on what you are looking for. If you are referring to something else, then you need to be WAY more specific. Also include the version of whatever operating system you are using.
What kinds of hidden files are stored in home directories?
Programs store configuration files, caches, and other user-specific files as hidden files/folders in your home directory. To see a list of all of these files, use: $ ls -a ~ It is usually not a good idea to delete any of these files if you don't know what they are for.
How do you organise files and folders on a computer?
Files and folders can be organised any way you see fit, with the exception of operating system files. When installing programs (including the operating system), you will often be offered the choice of where to place the files (selecting both a drive and a folder name), however you cannot organise the files within those folders unless the installer permits this option. Once installed, you generally cannot re-organise program files and folders unless the program itself permits the option (if not, re-installation is the only option). User-documents (images, videos, music, word-processing files, etc) can be placed in any folder of your choosing, and can be further organised within sub-folders (folders within folders). The files and folders are not unlike a filing cabinet which can be organised in an infinite number of ways. Most users begin by saving everything in their <username> Documents folder, however the more files you place in a folder, the longer it will take to open and display that folder. Therefore it's best to split the Documents folder into smaller sub-folders of your choosing. Some operating systems may provide other folders specifically for images, video, music, etc, either within the Documents folder or as completely separate folders. Grouping similar documents together allows you to apply customised views to that folder, specific to the type of files they contain. For instance, image folders can present thumbnails (miniature snapshots) of the images themselves instead of using generic icons, which makes it easier to locate specific images without having to open each one up. In the modern operating system, search and find utilities are fairly intelligent so, even if you forget where you placed a file, so long as you know the title (even if only partially), or some text from of its content, or a range of dates when the file was last modified, or even the approximate size of the file, the operating system will find it. If the files are indexed (by the operating system), search and find will be extremely rapid, otherwise a brute search will be conducted which takes much longer. To set up an index, you will need some free hard-drive space to store the index. You must set up the indexing feature to determine which folders will be indexed. You can also index entire partitions, however its best to limit the index to specific folders, thus reducing the index size and the amount of background processing required to maintain the index.
Which new Windows 7 feature allows you to quickly access files that you have been working on?

How do you sort both files and folders by date in Win7?
The Detail View list of files In Windows 7 -- when sorted by date -- will first list the sub-folders in order by date, followed by the regular files in order by date. To see both folders and files intermeshed by date, you can use this trick: Open the folder you wish to sort. In the Search box at upper right, type *.* and then start the search. Note: *.* tells search to "get all items in the folder" The search results window will display everything in date order, regardless of whether it's a file or a folder.
How can you see pictures in your picture folder instead of icons?
HI, I have windows 7 ultimate. I used to have this problem until I learned how to fix it here is how; Open windows explorer. Click alt on your keyboard and go to tools and then folder options. Switch to the view tab. Under files and folders click "Always show Icons never thumbnails". After you click it there should not be a check mark in the box. Click apply and exit out.
