Soon your screen is cluttered with windows, unless you initially choose, in view, options to use a single window. You view your drive and root folders in the left pane, and the contents of chosen folders in the right pane. You also have two choices not included in My Computer - a tools menu which enables you to choose go to if you wish to open a file, and find to locate a file. When you open My Computer , you may want to change your settings so that you can view your toolbar and your status bar.
Directories are the same as folders.
