Our Programs for the Evening:

7:00 – 7:30 PM

How to Find Anything on Your Hard Drive – Organizing and Searching – Arwen Newman
Have you ever lost a file on your computer – one that you know is there but which you “misplaced” due to an error or just plain forgetfulness? This presentation will begin with a discussion on organizing your hard drive to cut down on the problem in the first place. Then we will examine how to tag files. Lastly we will use the computer’s built-in tools for locating files which it seems have joined those extra socks eaten by the washing machine.
