1.1 Start the computer
1.1.1 Introduction to Computer
An electronic device that can store, retrieve and process data, and can be programmed
with instructions that it remembers. The physical parts that make up a computer (the central
processing unit, input, output and memory) are called “hardware”. Programs that tell a
computer what to do are called “software”.

INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT

Figure1. 1 Information cycle

A computer (also referred to as a PC) can be used for various functions, e.g., word
processing, spreadsheets, databases, business accounting, desktop publishing, accessing the
Internet, sending email, playing games, movies, music, etc.
1.1.2 Identify the parts of computer
A peripheral device is defined as a computer device connects to a computer system to add
functionality., such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the
memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to
the computer and used.
there are many different models of personal computers. They include desktop personal
computers (PC), notebooks and Laptops but they all have the same basic hardware parts:
 keyboard  monitor (screen)
 mouse/touch pad/trackball  System unit.
The diagram below shows a typical set up of a personal computer.
1. Monitor (or Screen or VDU - Visual Display Unit)
The monitor (or screen) enables the operator to view data (and to alter it before printing it out).
2. Keyboard: The computer keyboard has the standard QWERTY layout with extra keys for
specific functions.
3. Speakers: The speakers play sound when on-capable features are accessed on the computer.
4. Mouse: A mouse is used to select menu options, text and graphics displayed on the monitor.
5. Printer: A printer is used to print text and graphics onto paper.

 Figure1. 2 The typical set up of a personal computer
6. System unit containing CPU (Central Processing Unit)
A chip (called a Central Processing Unit) within the system unit processes data and relays
messages to and from the keyboard, monitor, disk drives and printer.
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the brain of your computer. It is a “chip” where your
computer interprets and processes information.
7. Hardware: The physical components of a computer system - everything that you can touch
- are called hardware.
8. Software: The programs used on a computer are called software. This includes system
software and application software such as MS-Word, MS-Excel, etc. System software is
necessary in order to run a computer and all applications within it.
9. Hard Disk and CD ROM Drives
Drives are used to store and access data. A hard disk drive is a permanent storage device within
your computer. CD-ROM drives allow you to read data from portable media (CD).
10. Video card
A video card fits inside your computer and determines the resolution (fineness of information)
and number of colors your monitor can display. In addition to some video cards allow the
display of graphics such as graphs, circles and geometric designs as well as text.

11. Memory
The memory is not a permanent storage place for information. It is only active while your
computer is turned on. To avoid losing your work you should save data on a disk (i.e., hard disk
or floppy disk) for permanent storage.
A. Compute component
The computer system needs people, data, hardware and software to operate. The process for
getting data in, processing the data and getting the information out is known as
input/process/output.
1. Input: - is the data that is entered into the computer. It is entered through input devices.
Some examples of input devices are:

 mouse  joy stick

 keyboard  touch pad
 microphone  MP3 player
 scanner  Digital video player
 digital camera (plays DVDs).
Figure1. 3 Output Device
i. Using the mouse
One of the most useful tools for working on a computer is the mouse. The mouse is used to move
a pointer or cursor around the screen, in order to select a button or icon to perform a particular
task, or to access, move or copy data.
Mouse pointer: the arrow will match the movement on the screen. To move the
mouse pointer, move the mouse across the mouse pad and watch the pointer on the
screen move in the same direction.
Some common ways that you can use a mouse with two buttons include:
 Single Click = quick click of the LEFT Mouse Button
 Double Click = two quick clicks of the LEFT Mouse Button.
 Triple Click = three quick clicks of the LEFT Mouse Button.
 Right Click = quick click of the RIGHT Mouse Button.
 Drag and Drop = Pressing and HOLDING the LEFT Mouse Button and SLIDING the
pointer across the screen.

  Scroll = Rolling the Scroll wheel when the Window is showing a more than one page of
information.
A mouse may also have the additional feature—a scroll wheel—that enables you to use
the mouse to scroll up and down a window instead of using the window’s scroll bars

Figure1. 4 A mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel

ii. Keyboard: - A keyboard is a peripheral device that enables a user to input text into a
computer or any other electronic machinery. A keyboard is an input device and is the
most basic way for the user to communicate with a computer.

 Figure1. 5 Keyboard Layout

2. Output: - is what the computer displays as a result of processing data (e.g., calculations or
instructions). Some examples of output devices are:

1. printers
2. speakers
3. monitor/screen.

Figure1. 6 Keyboard Layout

3. Process: - refers to the computer performing operations and calculations (using the data that
has been input and software). This processing of data is done by the central processing unit
(CPU) that is housed in the system unit.

1.2 OHS standards

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS): - A planned system of working to prevent illness and
injury where you work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Health and safety
procedure is the responsibility of all persons in the computer and technology industries.
1.2.1 Purpose of OHS
The purpose of the Health and Safety policies and procedures is to guide and direct all
employees to work safely and prevent injury, to themselves and others. All employees are
encouraged to participate in developing, implementing, and enforcing Health and Safety policies
and procedures.

Page 12 of 90 Ministry of Labor and Skills Operate Personal Computer Version -1

Author/Copyright September, 2022
 1.2.2 Categories of hazards
i. Biological. Biological hazards include viruses, bacteria, insects, animals, etc., that can cause
adverse health impacts.
ii. Chemical. Chemical hazards are hazardous substances that can cause harm. Gases, dusts,
fumes, vapors and liquids.
iii. Physical: Slippery floors, objects in walkways, unsafe or misused machinery, excessive noise,
poor lighting, fire.
iv. Ergonomic: poor design of equipment, workstation design, (postural) or workflow, manual
handling, repetitive movement.
1.2.3 Basic workplace hazards in IT
The most common hazards in IT are Ergonomics. It is the study of people at work that aims to
reduce the physical stress and resulting injuries associated with working, such as overuse
injuries, poor posture and more serious muscle skeletal disorders. Ergonomics aims to reduce
such injuries by designing work spaces, tools, tasks and equipment that help maintain the
physical health of workers.

Figure 1.7 comfort work place

1.2.4 Safety issues in IT
There are a number of safety issues that can arise from using ICT devices. Some of these safety
issues include:
1. Most ICT devices require an electrical power source. Whenever you have electrical power
sources you run the risk of the electrocution. 

Page 13 of 90 Ministry of Labor and Skills Operate Personal Computer Version -1

Author/Copyright September, 2022
2. ICT devices with wires can make a room a potential hazard. Trailing wires are easy to trip
over if they are not secured or tucked away. 
3. Some ICT devices (like computer screens) are fairly heavy and can cause injury if they fall on
you. Equipment should be positioned securely on strong desks and tables well away from the
edge.
4. ICT devices require power from a mains outlet. If too many devices are plugged into a single
main at the same time it is possible to overload the circuit and start an electrical fire. You need
to ensure that your room has many plug sockets so you don't have to overload any single one.
A. Health problems
There are a number of health problems that you can suffer if you use ICT devices incorrectly or
for too long. The main ones are: 
1. Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
2. Back and Neck Strain
3. Eye Strain and Headaches
Description of these health problems, their causes and how to prevent them
1. RSI causes painful swelling of the wrist and fingers. Sufferers with really bad RSI are unable
to use their hands at all. 
2. RSI is caused by doing the same small movements over and over again across a long period
of time. For example, clicking a mouse button repeatedly. 
3. Computer users who type and use a mouse all day long are commonly affected.
4. Back ache and neck ache can cause great pain and really affect the quality of your life. Both
back and neck ache can be caused by sitting incorrectly and using poor quality chairs without
back rests. This is called poor posture
Staring at a computer screen for too long can strain your eyes and cause headaches. Eye
strain can cause your vision to blur. Common causes of eye strain are screen flicker and
having direct light causing screen glare 
B. Safety issues
There are a number of safety issues that can arise from using ICT devices. Some of these
safety issues include:
1. Electrocution
2. Tripping over wires
3. Heavy equipment falling on you
4. Fire risks

 1.3 Check input voltage
Computer consists of several interior components, such as coils, capacitors, and electronic circuit
boards to regulate current. Your power supply unit requires fans to cool down the interior
components, but fans are one of the primary reasons for power supply failure. You will also find
colored wires attached to the circuit board, and these wires are used to transmit various voltages
to the main board and any connected devices. The typical PC power supply draws approximately
110 volts of alternating electrical current from the wall outlet, which converts to a much smaller
unidirectional flow of electrical current.
Alternating current (AC) defines the flow of charge that changes direction periodically. AC
voltage is produced by the alternator, which is a special kind of electrical generator used to
produce alternating current. Direct current (DC) can be described as a constant voltage or
current, which is generated by a rectifier, batteries, or an AC generator that is equipped with a
commutator. Modern power supplies are equipped with several safety circuits that check the flow
of current continuously to detect extreme power output conditions.
Steps to check the computer power supply voltage
 Plug the power supply into the wall.
 Find the big 24-ish pin connector that connects to the motherboard.
 Connect the GREEN wire with the adjacent BLACK wire.
 The power supply's fan should start up. If it doesn't then it's dead.
 If the fan starts up, then it could be the motherboard that's dead.

 1.4 Switch on or off computer
A switched-mode power supply (SMPS) is an electronic circuit that converts power
using switching devices that are turned on and off at high frequencies, and storage components
such as inductors or capacitors to supply power when the switching device is in its non-
conduction state.
1.4.1 Switch on the computer
Starting your computer is also known as booting the computer. It is important to switch your
computer on in the correct way because the computer will check the peripheral devices on start
up. Starting the computer will also start the operating system.
A. Logging on
The computer you are using may have been set up so that you need to log on to the computer in
order to be able to access the software and stored data, and commence using it. This is a security
feature that is often in place for computers in the workplace, school, college or other large
organisation.
When you log on you are connecting the computer with a network of other computers in the
organisation. If you need to log on you will see a box on the screen asking you for two items of
information that you need to type in:
1. Username

2. Password.

Usernames and passwords are set (for each authorized user) by the IT Administrator for the
organisation. Your teacher or IT Department (in an organisation) will provide you with these
details.
Sequence for switching on power of computer
1. Check peripheral device connections.
2. Turn on power at the power outlet.
3. If the monitor has a separate switch, turn it on.
B. Security conditions
Your username and password determine what information and features of the computer and
network you have access to, and this is determined by the IT security policy of the organisation.
Therefore, it is important to note the conditions of use that apply to you when you log on to a
computer with your username and password. These conditions appear on the screen before you

Page 16 of 90 Ministry of Labor and Skills Operate Personal Computer Version -1

Author/Copyright September, 2022
are asked to enter your name and password. You must click on the OK button after you have
read the conditions. This enables you to get to the log on screen where you enter your name and
password.
1.4.2 Switch off the computer
Shutting down a computer closes all open programs and exits the operating system safely so
hardware isn't damaged and your operating system isn't corrupted. The sections below explain
how to shut down a computer, with instructions for different operating systems.
A. Shutting down a computer
It is good practice to use the correct shut down procedure when you want to turn off your
computer so that you do not lose data. If you still have any software applications or files open,
they will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Each of the applications and files must be
closed. You may get a message asking you to confirm whether files need to be saved. Make sure
you save any work you have done before you turn off the computer.
Depending on whether or not you have had to log on to start using a computer, you will need to
follow a different sequence shutting down the computer.
B. Logging off
Logging off means you are disconnecting the computer from the network and no one else will be
able to access the same computer unless they also have a log on (username and password). You
must log off the computer regardless of whether or not you will be turning off the power.
Sequence for Turn off a computer:
1. Follow this sequence if you do not have to log off first.
2. Close all files (remember to save your latest work if necessary).
3. Close all software programs.
4. Remove floppy disks or other storage media from drives if necessary.
5. Click on Start on the taskbar. Select Turn Off computer from the Start menu.
6. Check that Turn off is selected.

 3.1. Create and customize desktop icons
3.1.1 Desktop windows
The desktop is the background screen that appears as soon as the computer has finished starting
up. The desktop is part of the operating system software, so its appearance is controlled by
system settings.
There are several useful items on the desktop including:
i. Basic desktop icons
The Desktop is where you’ll find icons (small pictures) for many of your most frequently used
programs. You’ll most likely see icons for This PC, Network, Recycle Bin.
1. Computer: - Allows you to see what drives are attached to your computer (for example,
your local hard disk drive, your CD/DVD drives, any networked shared drives, and external
drives, such as a USB flash drive).
2. Documents: - Supplies a ‘catch-all’ place for your personal files. Within here you can see
your files, any shared files from other computer users and any music or pictures you may
have stored.
3. Recycle Bin: - Stores any files you delete until you empty it.
ii. The Desktop components
The desktop consists of many main components
1. Desktop that contains many components like icons "file, folder, shortcut. Etc…)
2. Task Bars
 Figure 3. 1 Desktop Components
Icons: An icon is a graphic image, a small picture or object that represents a file, program, web
page, or command. Icons help you execute commands, open programs or documents quickly. To
execute a command by using an icon, click or double-click on the icon. It is also useful to
recognize quickly an object in a browser list. For example, all documents using the same
extension have the same icon.
We can classify icons as the following

Figure 3. 2 Different Icons

What is the difference between a file, a folder, and a shortcut?
files store data, on the other hand, is a collection of data. stored in one unit, identified by a
filename. They can be documents, programs, libraries, and other compilations of data. File name
consists of two-part name and extension. while folders store files and other folders. The folders,
often referred to as directories, are used to organize files on your computer.
A shortcut is a link that points to a program on the computer. Shortcuts allow users to create
links to their programs in any folder, Start bar, Taskbar, Desktop or other locations on their
computer. A shortcut in Windows is commonly identified by a small arrow in the bottom corner
of the icon
3.1.2 The task bars
The Task bar is a horizontal bar at the very bottom of the desktop. It shows any applications or
windows that are open.
3.1.3 The Start menu
The Start menu where you can access system information and change display settings (in the
Control Panel), and open the application programs. You can left-click the Start button on the
Task bar to see the Start menu. This menu allows you to:
 access information about the computer system you are using
 access controls for changing the way that information is displayed
 access application programs that are installed on the computer.
Next, we’ll look at the settings you can access in the Control Panel. The Control Panel can be
selected in the Start menu.

Figure 3. 3 The Start menu

3.2 Select and open desktop icons
3.2.1 Change Your Desktop Icons
Icons like This PC, Network, Recycle Bin, and your user folder are all considered “desktop
icons,” even though modern versions of Windows don’t show them all on the desktop.
In Windows 10, you can access this window through Settings  Personalization Themes
Desktop Icon Settings. Use the checkboxes in the “Desktop icons” section to select which
icons you want on your desktop. To change an icon, select the icon you want to change and then
click the “Change Icon” button.
 Figure 3. 4 Desktop Icon Settings
3.2.2 Change folder icons
Changing the icon for a folder is not only a good way to pretty things up, but also to call
attention to important items. To change a folder icon, right-click the folder you want to change
and then choose “Properties.”

Figure 3. 5 Folder Properties

In the folder’s properties window, switch to the “Customize” tab and then click the “Change
Icon” button.
 Figure 3. 6 Folder Property

In the “Change Icon” window, you can select any icon you want from the built-in Windows
icons, or you can Click “Browse” to locate your own icons.

Figure 3. 7 Change icon for folder

If you browse for your own icon file, you can select any EXE, DLL, or ICO file. After selecting
the file, the “Change Icon” window will show the icons contained in the file you selected. Click
the one you want and then click “OK.” Here, we’re changing the icon for this folder to a red one
to make it stand out more. And back in the properties window, click “OK.”

 UNIT FOUR: ORGANIZE BASIC FOLDER STRUCTURE AND FILES
This learning unit is developed to provide the trainees the necessary information regarding
the following content coverage and topics:
 Creating and naming Directories and subdirectories
 Identifying Attributes of directories
 Moving Subdirectories between directories
 Renaming Directories
 Accessing Directories and subdirectories
This unit will also assist you to attain the learning outcomes stated in the cover page.
Specifically, upon completion of this learning guide, you will be able to:
 Create and name Directories and subdirectories
 Identify Attributes of directories
 Move Subdirectories between directories
 Rename directories
 Access directories and subdirectories
4.1 Creating and Naming Directories and subdirectories
4.1.1 Introduction to creating create and naming directories
Data files such as word documents can be kept on a computer for future uses such as editing and
printing. To find documents you will need to store them in an organised fashion in the same way
you might file documents like lesson notes, bills, letters and bank statements at home. Just as you
might use folders to organise your personal or business documents, you also store your computer
documents in folders. A folder is only a device for grouping files in the same location, not a data
file. Folders and files can be stored on a computer’s desktop or on a storage device which will
be able to store hundreds or thousands of documents.
Folders can be created or moved so that they sit within another folder, and so on. Other terms for
describing this structure of files and folders grouped within folders are directory and sub-
directory.
You will need to decide where you want to save files. There are several types of storage devices
that may be an option for you, depending on your computer setup.
4.1.2 Storage devices
Hard disk drive (HDD)
Your computer will have a hard disk drive. The hard disk drive is in the system unit. The hard
drive is where the operating system and application programs are kept. If you are using a
Microsoft Windows operating system, there is also a location called My Documents on the hard
drive for storing your data files. You can also have a removable hard disk drive which has the
advantage of being able to store a large amount of data and be transported and connected to other
computers.
Memory stick/flash drive/thumb drive/pen drive/USB drive
All these terms refer to a small drive that you plug into a USB port (an input connection on the
system unit). They are small (about the size of a disposable lighter) and can be carried easily.
They hold more data than a floppy disk.
 CDs (compact disk)
  CD-R: (compact disk read-only) are read-only format which means you can read the data
but you can’t write (add) data to the CD. They often have application programs or music
stored on them.
 CD-RW: (compact disk read-write) another forms of CD that you can read and write to.
This means you can add or copy data to this type of CD. You will need a CD burner to do
this.
4.1.3 Arranging icons
 The icons on the desktop can be arranged so it is easy to find them. This is a good way to
group programs together that you use a lot.
 The long way to do this is to drag each icon with the mouse to a place on the desktop.
A quicker way to arrange icons is to let the computer do it for you.
Arranging icons on the desktop
Follow these steps to arrange the icons on the desktop:
1 Go to the desktop.
2 Right click an empty space on the desktop. A shortcut menu will appear.
3 Select Arrange Icons from the shortcut menu.
4 Click on by Name.
5 The icons will arrange themselves neatly in alphabetical (A-Z) order. You can also
arrange them by type, size or date.
Icons such as Computer, documents, network and the Recycle Bin never change their position
when you choose this command. You can only move them around by dragging them with the
mouse.
4.1.4 Using desktop shortcuts

Some of the icons are automatically placed on the desktop when Windows is installed. You can also
create shortcuts. Shortcuts are icons that represent files, folders or programs. They are really only a
link to the real file or program. In other words, they are like a nickname that stands for a person's real
name. All shortcuts have a little arrow in the lower-left corner of the icon. This indicates that the
icon is a shortcut. Any file, folder or program on your computer can be a shortcut. They do not use
up much room on your hard disk. It is a good idea only to make useful shortcuts. They should be
used for the files or programs that you regularly use.

Drive contains three folders under Documents:

 1. Customers
2. Staff
3. Warehouse.
The Customers folder has four sub-folders:
1. CD Basement
2. Gig Shop
3. MP3 to go
4. Music Beat.
You can set up your own directory and sub-directories by creating new folders within a
hierarchical structure, depending on a logical or business system for organising the directory.
In our earlier example (Figures 1 and 2) the directory on the floppy disk has this hierarchical
structure:

Figure 4. 1 Creating folder structure

4.1.5 Creating a new folder:
To create more folders at the same level as this, keep selecting New Folder until you have all the
folders you need. To create one or more folders inside one of the new folders, repeat the above
steps.
In this way you can create a hierarchy of folders according to a hierarchical structure. The new
directory will be set up and ready to save or copy any documents into. In other ways You can
create folders from:
 the desktop (right click the mouse, choose new, then folder)
 My Documents or
 Microsoft Word
In My Documents the main heading is called a directory. The sub-folders are called sub-
directories.
Follow these steps to create a new folder:
Step 1 Open Documents
Step 2 Click on File in the top toolbar
Step 3 down to New on the menu
Step 4 Click on Folder from the sub-menu
Step 5 Give the folder a name
4.2 Attributes of Directories
Sometimes you will need to check the attributes of a file or folder to ensure you use it
appropriately. Or you may wish to set attributes to read-only so that data is not lost or changed
by someone.
Attributes define the type of file or directory which could be:
 read-only
 hidden
 archive
 system
4.2.1 To check or change the attributes of a file
1. Double-click on This PC on the desktop.
2. Double-click on a data drive and find a document file.
3. Right-click on the file you want to check.
4. Select Properties from the menu.

Figure 4. 2 The Properties box for this file shows that the file is Read-only
Under the General tab of the Properties box, you can check or uncheck the boxes for read-only or
hidden. More attributes are under the Advanced button.
Click OK to save any change to the attributes and close the Properties box.
Folder views
There are many different ways you can display your electronic `filing cabinet' to view your files
and folders. Some people prefer to see their folders and files listed while others prefer to have
them displayed as icons.
Changing the folder view
Follow these steps to change the folder view.
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Select View from the toolbar
3. Select how you want your files and folders displayed, e.g. Details
You can display files or folders as:
Icon’s view shows each folder and file as a large icon with its name underneath. If you have a lot of
folders and files it is difficult to see them all at one time in this view because the large icons take up a
lot of space.
List view is where the files and folders are arranged in columns. You need to use the bottom scroll
bar or left and right Arrow keys to see all of them.
Detail’s view presents the file system as a list with details about the files and folders. These details
include the name of file in alphabetical order (A-Z), the size of file, the type of file (i.e. Word
document, spreadsheet, graphic document) and date and time when it was modified, that is, created
and/or changed.
Changing the view of all folders
The view options you select only apply to the open folder. If you want to change the view of all
folders, you must use the Folder Options dialog box.
Follow these steps to change the display of all folders and files in the same way:
1. Open Documents
2. Click on Tools on the top toolbar
3. Click on Folder Options. A dialog box will appear like the one below
4. Select View
5. Select the settings you want
6. Click on “Apply to all Folders”
7. Click on OK
Folder properties
A folder's 'properties' refers to information about:
 its type
 its location
 its size
 the number of files and other folders it contains
 when it was created
Information about the size of a folder is useful if you need to save the folder on to a floppy disk and
want to know if it will fit.
4.3 Renaming Directories
4.3.1 Renaming folders
You will notice that there is a '+' (plus) or '-' (minus) sign next to the main folders or directories.
The `+' sign indicates there are sub-folders (sub-directories) within this folder. When the folder has
a minus sign beside it, it means that all the sub-folders within the folder are on view.
You can rename a folder in the same way that you rename a file.
Follow these steps to rename a folder:
1. Open Documents
2. Find the folder you want to rename and right click on it
 3. Select Rename from the shortcut menu that appears
4. Type the new name on top of the old name. As you type, the old name will
4.3.2 Deleting folders
The steps for deleting a folder are the same as for renaming a folder but you select
Delete rather than Rename from the shortcut menu above.
Follow these steps to delete a folder:
1. Open Documents
2. Find the folder you want to delete and right click on it
3. Select Delete from the shortcut menu that appears.
4.4 Move subdirectories between directories
Sometimes it is necessary to move a folder to another location or folder. Here are two ways you
can do this. (Note that you can move a file in the same ways.)
4.4.1 Use ‘Move to Folder’
1. In window view, click once on the folder you want to move (so that it is selected).
2. In the window’s Toolbar click on the Edit menu and select Move to Folder.
3. Select the folder you want to move the selected folder to. To do this, scroll up or down the
list to find the target folder. You may also need to expand folders to find the folder you want.
To select the target folder, click on the folder name so that it is highlighted.
4. Click on the Move button.
4.4.2 Drag the folder to the new location
Another way to move a folder is to drag the folder to the new location:
 Click on the folder icon and keep the mouse button down as you drag the folder over the
top of the target folder. Release the mouse button when the target folder is highlighted.
OR
 Click-drag the folder into the window area of an open folder or drive window.
4.5 Accessing Directories and subdirectories
4.5.1 Access directories on your computer
You can view folders on a drive and the contents of the folders through windows. Double-
clicking on a drive icon or a folder icon opens a window which shows you its contents.

5.4 Restoring Deleted files
5.4.1 Delete and restore files
You may need to delete files or folders, for example, when you no longer need them or when
they are copied to another disk.
Here are two ways you can delete a file (a folder can be deleted in the same ways).
1. Right-click on the file you want to delete
 Right-click on a file.
 Left-click on Delete in the menu.
The file is now moved to the Recycle Bin which sits on the desktop.
2. Drag the file to the Recycle Bin
Another way to delete a file is to drag it to the Recycle Bin on the desktop:
 Click on the file and hold the mouse button down as you drag it to the Recycle Bin.
  When the file is directly on top of the Recycle Bin the bin will be highlighted. At this
point release the mouse button and the file will be moved into the bin.

5.4.2 Restore deleted files

If you have deleted files or folders but not emptied the Recycle Bin you can still get the deleted
files back. This is called restoring a file. To do this you need to access the Recycle Bin from the
desktop:
1. Double-click on the Recycle Bin to open it. Inside this window you can see the files that
have been deleted.

2. Right-click on the file you want to restore.

3. Click on Restore in the menu. The file will be returned to the place it was previously
deleted from.

5.4.3 Empty the Recycle Bin

Deleted files and folders stay in the Recycle Bin until you empty the bin. If you empty, the
Recycle Bin anything in it will be permanently deleted (unable to be restored from the desktop).
It is a good idea to empty the Recycle Bin on a regularly basis, as deleted files take up storage
space on the computer.
To empty the Recycle Bin:

1. Right-click on the Recycle Bin icon.

2. Select Empty Recycle Bin from the menu. (If there are no files in the bin then this option
will be faded.)

The files that were previously deleted (transferred to the bin) are now permanently deleted.
5.5 Erasing and formatting Disks
You can format a disk if you want to erase the contents of the disk. You might want to do this
because you no longer need the data that was stored and you want to reuse the disk. You might
also want to format the disk if it has a virus.
To format an external drive in Windows:
1. Plug your drive into the computer and, if necessary, into a wall outlet.
2. Open Windows Explorer, click the "Computer" section in the sidebar, and find your
drive.
3. Right-click on the drive and choose "Format."
4. Under "File System," choose the file system you want to use. See the above section for
more details on which one to pick.
5. Give your drive a name under "Volume Label," and check the "Quick Format" box.
6. Click "Start" to format the drive. You'll get a notification when it's done (it should only
take a few seconds).
When you're done, open up the drive in Windows Explorer and you can begin dragging files to
it, or backing up your computer.

DOS File and Directory Naming
Filenames in DOS contain two parts – name and extension. The rules of file and directory
naming in DOS are similar to Windows with the following exceptions:
 A file name can be a maximum of 8 characters long.
 Extensions can be a maximum of 3 characters and an extension is optional.
 The following special characters are not allowed in file names: * + = | \ [ ] : ; " < , > ? /.
Basic DOS Commands
The most common DOS commands include dir, md, rd, cd, edit, copy, ren and del.
dir Command: directory command (dir) is used to view the contents of a directory.
Syntax: dir [path]
 Md Command: md (make directory) command is used to create directories.
Syntax: md [path] directory name
 Path- indicates the place where the new directory will be created.
 Directory name- indicates the name of the directory to be created.
 Cd Command: cd (Change directory) command is used to change directory.
 Syntax: cd [path] [\] [..]
 path – the location of the directory to which the current directory is going to be
switched.
 \ - to move to the top level of the drive (e.g. C:\)
 .. – to move up one directory.
 Rd Command: rd (remove directory) command is used to delete a directory.
Syntax: rd [path] directory name
 path – the location of the directory to be deleted.
 Directory name – the name of the directory to be deleted.
 The rd command is used to delete only empty directories.

UNIT SIX: INSTALL PRINTER

This learning guide is developed to provide you the necessary information regarding the following
content coverage and topics: -
  Add and install printers
 Change printer to default setting
 Print document
This guide will also assist you to attain the learning outcome stated in the cover page. Specifically,
upon completion of this Learning Guide, you will be able to: -

 Perform print information

6.1 Add and install printers

6.1.1 Basic printer concepts
A printer is an output device of a computer, it prints the output data and information of a
computer on paper, plastic, wood metal or any hard surface depending on what printer one is
using. In simple language, a computer printer is an external hardware device responsible for
taking computer data and generating a hard copy of that data. Different types of printers print
differently, the quality and speed of printing differ from one printer type to another. They are one
of the most commonly used peripherals on computers and are commonly used to print text,
images, and photos.
A different type of printer has different interfaces or ways of connecting to the computer. The
interfaces of include: Ethernet port: Cat5 or Cat6, fire wire port, MPP-1150, parallel port, SCSI,
serial port, wireless, Bluetooth or through a USB port. Today the most common way a printer
connects to a printer is through a USB port.
6.2 Types of printers
They are different types of computer printers: all-in-one (AIO) printer, dot matrix printer, inkjet
printer, laser printer, multifunction printer (MFP), thermal printer, LED printer, etc. Today, the
most common printers used with a computer are Inkjet and Laser printers.
Printers are all together divided into two main categories: impact printers or character printers
and non-impact printers.
Impact Printer: With this category, hammers or pins strike against a ribbon and paper to print
the text. This mechanism is known as electro-mechanical mechanism. The examples of Impact
printers are Daisywheel and Dot matrix printers.
Character Printer: It prints only one character at a time. It has relatively slower speed. For
instance, the dot matrix printers.
Non-Impact Printer: Use non-Impact technology such as ink-jet or laser technology. There
printers provide better quality of operations at higher speeds. Non-impact printers are of two
types, the: Inkjet printers and laser printers.

6.3 Installing printer software

type D:\setup (where D is your CD drive letter), and click OK.
Selecting the default printer
Printers that you can access from your computer may be directly connected to your PC or
you may have access to printers over a network. A network printer could serve many
computers, so you may not be the only person sending jobs to a printer.
Check printers you can access
If printing over a network, there may be more than one printer you can access. To check the
printers that you have access to:
1. Click on Start and then select the Control Panel.
2. Double-click on Printers and Faxes to open this item.
3. In Printers and Faxes, you see the names of the computer/s that you should be able to
access.
 Figure 6. 1 Printers and Faxes (under the Control Panel)
Check printing preferences for a printer
Printing preferences include options for printing such as:
 The size of the paper you are printing to
 Whether the document you are printing has a horizontal (landscape) or vert portrait layout
 Whether you want to print on both sides or only one side of the paper
 How many copies of the document you want to print?
You can change these options every time you send a document to the printer but you can also set
default options so that your preferred options are the default until you change them.
To check or change the default printing preferences for your printer: -
1. In the Printers and Faxes window right-click on the name or icon of the printer.
2. Select Printing Preferences from the menu.
