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.

Thank you so much! This is just the type of explanation I need. I've been wondering for years why folders show up in multiple places, and you cleared that up in the first few minutes. I am looking forward to getting a grip on File Explorer! I hope many more people find your channel.

I wish I have a son like you. Thank you! The best tutorial videos I have ever seen. Easy for old me to learn.

Thank you nerd sidekick!!! College professor that is now teaching remotely. Never did this before, always taught on-ground and had an administrative assistant. Those days are over. Trying to get up to speed and your videos are a huge help!! Thank you!

Thank so very much! Finally, I've found someone who explains this stuff concisely and slowly, from the beginning, for people who have little to no background in computers. Everybody else on YouTube or in person I have tried to get help from assumes that I have pre-knowledge that I don't. I am an aged out general contractor trying to shift into insurance adjusting and computers have been the bane of my life recently. I know I can learn it I just can't jump in without the ground level information to build on. Thank you again. I am subscribed!

Thanks so much for this series of tutorials. You are a superb teacher. I learned things in 2 hours that I have not learned or even knew exist over few years. I highly recommend this series to learn File Explorer. Once again I'm grateful.

Thank you, I'm really appreciating learning using your series of videos! For one reason and another I haven't used computers a lot in my life (for a 36-year-old my knowledge is pretty basic) and your clear and calm explanations are just what I need to get my head around all this stuff - finally! :)

[jason.aldridge]

my god am i so glad to came across your videos about this it seems so difficult and its not so easy to find one who explains it in detail like yourself, im yet to watch the rest of your videos to hopefully gain the knowledge i need to get through the basics of my laptop, i'll need to watch them over and over again before it actually makes sense to me as to wot i know wot it is im doing at the time, i struggle when i do something and the 2nd time it looks different, like atm files look different to from when i was first shown, now theres more files i dont beleave i added, intentionally anyways.but sofare i find wot you explain is very usefull for me and will be following you alot more, i can only tell you that i really appreciate them so thank you sir,
