Knowing how to manage these files and folders is essential if you want to become a proficient computer user and if you can't easily find them or know how to properly maniple them, then becoming a so called computer expert will not be possible. Once you learn the basics of how the Windows file structure works and how to do things like copy files and search for files and folders on your computer, you will realize how it makes almost all of your other computer tasks easier.
