Someone has said, "Time is God's way of keeping everything from happening at once." Viewed that way, time avoids a lot of confusion.
Folders, known to old-timers as Directories, are a way of keeping
the Files (things stored on your computer) from all being in one huge
unmanagable heap. In Windows, the contents of a folder may be
viewed by opening that folder in a Window,
as has been done at right. The name of this folder is given at the
top of the window and in the slot labeled Address. What's in this folder is
shown in its main window, each item being represented by an icon and its
name. All the icons in this folder are little file folders, showing
that what this folder contains is four other folders.
(You may find the folder contents represented in another way, as for instance by huge idons with the names underneath. That's pretty, but quickly uses up your desktop. You may select the type of pictures used by clicking on View, and then on Small icons or List, for example.
Opening a Folder
To see what's inside the Gestures folder,
for example, double-click on the icon for that folder , and it will be "opened"
in its own window (see at left). From the contents, we deduce that gestures are
stored as .vpa files.
With the folder open, the user may delete unwanted gestures, or move them to another folder (where they will not clutter up the "gesture pallet"). Notice
that there are two folders inside Gestures. It seems likely
that this user had a lot of "wolves" gestures, and decided to
move them all to a separate Wolves folder.
Of course, before you can open a folder, you have to find it -- to know where
it is. If you don't know, the Windows
Find function can help you.
