Using your home folder as a reference point, navigate your hard disk:

  • To view your home folder, click the Home button.

  • To move to the folder that contains your home folder - that is, to move one folder up in the hierarchy - click the Up button.

  • To return to the home folder, click the Back button.

  • To view the contents of any folder, double-click its icon (normally a folder icon).

  • If you think that the contents of a folder have changed while you've been viewing it, click the Refresh button to update the information.

  • To stop an item from loading, click the Stop button.
