Surf your computer the same way you surf the Web

You can surf the contents of your computer, similar to the way you surf the Web with your browser.

Here's how:

1. On your desktop, click My Computer to open a window.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. On the General and View tabs, you can assign several types of Web-like behaviors to your folders.

Along the left side of the window, useful information about the item you click appears. For example, if you point to a disk drive, the disk size and free space are listed. If you point to a folder, a folder description appears. If you point to a file, you can see document details and (in the case of graphics) a thumbnail image of the file.
