From Explorer
As you know from Chapter 2, Windows Explorer enables you to view the contents of any disk, and any
folder that’s in a disk. You can open any document by navigating to its folder in Explorer and then
clicking (or double-clicking) the document’s file name or icon. To open a document you saved in My
Documents, for example, you can click the Start button and choose to go straight to that folder. Then
click the icon for the document you want to open.
If the document isn’t in My Documents, you can navigate to the folder that does contain the document
from within Explorer. If the document is in Shared Documents, but you’re currently viewing My
Documents in Explorer, for example, just click Shared Documents under Other Places in the Explorer
bar. Explorer will then show the contents of the Shared Documents folder, and you can click (or doubleclick)
the document’s icon there.
