what up with all the "documents" and "libraries"?
I don't know much about Windows machines and I'm trying to teach my Mom to understand folders and locations of files, creating new folders, knowing where to save files, etc.
I'm just baffled by how many things are called "Libraries" and variations on "My ..." and "Documents," not to mention that some of them seem to have two different names depending on how you reach or display them.
I need to teach her the simplest possible reliable system. Right now she seems to be using a Library which includes files from two different users, which as you can imagine is confusing, and she seems to have ended up with hundreds of files in the same folder.
Can I get advice on how to teach a beginning to understand and use folders safely? Right now it seems to be that a Library is asking for trouble if it includes files from multiple locations... that kind of obscures the structure of the folders. Maybe that's how everything ended up in the same folder, by saving into the Library.
