Windows is a difficult program/operating system to learn because there so many ways to do the same thing.
Below are a couple of ways to open a file in Windows.You might have been shown another way to do this.It doesn’t mean what you have been shown is wrong. You were just shown a different way to do it.Open a File in Windows
Open a File from Within a Program
The program you are using should have a top toolbar with an item called File at the far left.
Click File in the top toolbar.
From the list that appears,select Open.
The Open dialog box appears.
At the top of the Open dialog box is a label Look in.Click the arrow on the right to navigate to the folder where the file is.
A list of files and folders within the selected folder will appear. If you don’t see the file you are looking for, change the File types list below the File name box to show All Files.
Click the file name from the middle box that you wish to open.
The file name should appear in the box beside File name.
Next,click Open.
The program associated with that file type should startup then, your file will open.
That wasn’t too hard.Now onto opening a file in Windows via My Documents folder.Open File from the My Documents Folder
On your desktop (the screen you see when the computer has warmed up) there is what is called an icon called My Documents.
Double click the icon on the desktop called My Documents.
Windows Explorer will open showing a list of files and folders within your My Doucments folder.
If the file is in a folder within My Documents, click the folder name to move into/expose the files in that folder.
Once in the correct folder,click on the file you wish to open.
Whether you have to double or single click a file or folder to open it will depend on how your computer is set up. If a single left click does not open the file/folder, then double click it quickly.
That’s it,you are done.
