Apply: Case Problem 1

See the Starting Data Files section at the beginning of this module for the list of Data Files needed for this Case Problem.

Art Glass Studio Shannon Beecher started the Art Glass Studio in Lake George, New York, to provide custom stained glass works for residential and commercial buildings. The business also holds classes on stained glass techniques for children and adults. Knowing you are multitalented, Shannon hired you to help her manage the front end of the studio and other parts of her growing business, including electronic business files. Your first task is to organize the files on her new Windows 10 computer. Complete the following steps:

1. 1

   In the Module2 > Case1 folder provided with your Data Files, create three folders: Classes, Designs, and Marketing.

2. 2

   Move the Advanced Classes, Beginner Classes, Intermediate Classes, and Kids Classes files from the Case1 folder to the Classes folder.

3. 3

   Rename the four files in the Classes folder by deleting the word Classes from each name.

4. 4

   Move the four JPG files from the Case1 folder to the Designs folder.

5. 5

   Copy the remaining two files to the Marketing folder. Also, copy the Designers file to the Designs folder.

6. 6

   Delete the Designers and Studio files from the Case1 folder.

7. 7

   Open the Recycle Bin folder by double-clicking the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop, and then display the window in Details view. Sort the contents of the Recycle Bin by filename in descending order.

8. 8

   Filter the files by their deletion date to display only the files you deleted today. (Hint: If you deleted files from the Case1 folder on a different date, click that date on the calendar.) Do the Designers and Studio files appear in the Recycle Bin folder? Explain why or why not. Remove the filter, and then close the Recycle Bin window.

9. 9

   Make a copy of the Designs folder in the Case1 folder. The name of the duplicate folder appears as Designs - Copy. Rename the Designs - Copy folder as Sawyer Designs.

10. 10

    Search for the Advanced file and then copy it to the Sawyer Designs folder. Rename this file Sawyer Classes.

11. 11

    Compress the four photo files in the Sawyer Designs folder in a new compressed folder named Photos, and then move the zipped Photos folder to the Case1 folder.

12. 12

    Close all open windows.
