Computer Skills Course: File Management, Part 1

[@davegoodo3603]

Dane, I’ve been using computers for over 25 years and I never tire of hearing the basics just like this. I would love to get my brother-in-law to watch this and more of what you have to offer. Thanks for sharing some really good content.

[@reenachauhan6610]

Thanks because of you I pass

[@DaneHartman]

Glad it was helpful!!

[@kristinamedinaagee3452]

As basic as this was, I really NEEDED a plain, elementary lesson despite working with these most of my life. This was never taught in school (although I'm sure it is now.. I'm 27) but I needed to understand the foundation in order to move forward. No wonder everything has felt SO complicated before! Also.. the thing about not deleting the file extension name just answered so many problems as to why my files are always not working. WOW! Most informative 5 min I could have spent. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@DaneHartman]

Awesome! Thank you for the kind words, I'm so glad it was helpful! Please forgive the long delay, I teach high school computer science full-time and have neglected my KZbin channel.

[@topcat365]

Finally an actual fundamental explanation of a course. In particularly (What is) File Management.

[@DaneHartman]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!!

[@bobbyzay5913]

[@tanzeelamariam1356]

I like how the video is short and gives me the same information as the other videos. Keep making more videos like this one. Thank you for posting this video.

[@DaneHartman]

Thanks, glad it was useful!!

Nice

[@DaneHartman]

Thanks!

[@learnenglishwithranjita5139]

Really I needed it to understand ,really good and informative

[@HJ-vi4yk]

Fantastic video! Very easy to follow & understand for those of us who didn't grow up with this type of technology. You'd be a great teacher!

[@DaneHartman]

So glad it was helpful! I actually am a High School Computer Science teacher (which is why it took me so long to reply). Thanks for the kind words!!

[@vlogofutsav3810]

U are telling very good to children👶👧👦

[@DaneHartman]

Thank you!

[@jitendrakumarsingh9940]

Sir please tell me in which category does .ERP comes or it is not there Sir please help me I want to know this very urgent Please sir please.

[@DaneHartman]

Please forgive the long delay, I teach high school computer science full-time and have neglected my KZbin channel. The .ERP file extension appears to be related to a computer game and to the British Economics & Social Research Council Electronic Form. It's not one that I've ever come across personally.

[@alllifemattersofeverykind3761]

So clear! Please more!

[@DaneHartman]

Thank you! I'll try to get to it! Teaching high school Computer Science full-time leaves very little extra time. :)

[@mihirraval8733]

Greetings from India,loved your channel Brother 👍 amazing and useful stuff

[@DaneHartman]

Glad you liked the videos! Thanks for the kind words!

How Do I create a File ?

[@DaneHartman]

Please forgive the long delay, I teach high school computer science full-time and have neglected my KZbin channel. You can create a new file from within an application (like Microsoft Word), or you can create a new file from within Windows Explorer by right-clicking and choosing New > and then the file type. I hope that helps!!

[@genelyntuasoc9396]

Very clear

[@DaneHartman]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

[@jacquelinestaley2124]

Excellent easy to understand. Thank you for your work on this I will be using it in my class.

[@DaneHartman]

Thanks for the kind words, glad it was useful!

[@arvindpandey4423]

Thanks

[@DaneHartman]

Welcome!

[@bismafarooq3573]

In which pane of windows explorer are file names displayed?

[@DaneHartman]

Please forgive the long delay, I teach high school computer science full-time and have neglected my KZbin channel. If you switch to 'Details' view, the file names should be on the left side. Hope that helps!

[@lilysleisure1918]

Plz make more videos!..

[@DaneHartman]

Please forgive the long delay, I teach high school computer science full-time and have neglected my KZbin channel. I do have one new video, which is an update of the digital storage terminology video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2WzYX-FpMt4fNU

[@argenthony246]

Useful for me.

[@DaneHartman]

Glad to hear it!

thank you sir

[@DaneHartman]

You're welcome!!

[@shaunaymos7673]

good info

[@DaneHartman]

Thanks!!

[@amal717]

So intriguing series . i like it . could you please tell me how the file stored exactly in memory . i read that the names of all files are stored in separate location and the data are in different place.is that right?

[@DaneHartman]

Hi Mosab, Yes, you're right. The file system (such as FAT32, NTFS, HFS, etc) keeps track of where the data is for each file and folder, so that it is accessible regardless of the actual physical location of that data on the drive. Certain file systems are more reliable and have better performance, while others suffer from lack of redundancy. For example, exFAT is convenient, but it's far less reliable than NTFS. Hope that helps!!

[@AshilleyHung]

Thank you for sharing.

[@DaneHartman]

Most welcome!

[@soldadopreciso]

very good work , greetings from Guayaquil, Ecuador . Teach us to do videos or tuto videos , i like your design video

[@DaneHartman]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the videos! I would love to visit Ecuador, I hope to have the chance one of these years! The majority of the animation is done using Adobe After Effects - You can actually find some really great tutorials (like the After Effects CC Essential Training) on Lynda.com, and there are some good free ones on KZbin as well. Once you have a grasp on After Effects, you can also very quickly create awesome intro videos and stuff by using After Effects templates from Videoblocks.com. Hope that's helpful!

[@deima19lt]

what is the role of the operating system in managing files?

[@DaneHartman]

The operating system is fundamental to file management, and most provide a graphical interface for doing so. For example, Windows, MacOS, and common Linux builds all have graphical interfaces for moving, copying, renaming, compressing files, etc. I actually have a series of videos on File Management that you may find interesting, they're on this same channel. Thanks!

[@victorv4298]

in what category is the .MID?

[@DaneHartman]

.MID is a Midi file, so it would fall into the Audio category! :)

[@victorv4298]

​@@DaneHartman Thank you very much, in principle I thought the same thing, then I got the doubt because MIDI does not produce sound directly but through orders and I had left it in the Other category, taking a simile in the text area with the HTML format ..

[@lavernapearl5917]

nice

[@DaneHartman]

Thanks!!

[@Minecraft101ToonLink]

“PNG, or a ping-“ **TRIGGERED!!!** It stands for Portable Network Graphic!

[@DaneHartman]

Lol! Don't be triggered. :) Remember, JPEG stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group", and most of us say "JPEG", not "J.P.G."... the "ping" comment was along those lines, as I've heard it referred to as such in design circles. :)

[@dennishajal]

Are You In Khan Academy?

[@DaneHartman]

No, but I teach High School Computer Science and I consider Khan Academy a great resource!
