You will need a basic knowledge of Windows to use Solar Fire - such as starting your computer/Windows, knowing what the Start button is, running programs via icons on the desktop or the Start menu, and once Solar Fire is running - selecting items off menus, activating command buttons, filling in dialog forms etc. To learn more about these activities refer to your Windows documentation and help. Generally you do not need to know much else about Windows itself, or its file system, to use Solar Fire. However there are a few occasions where being able to navigate and manipulate folders and files may be an advantage.
To do anything directly with folders and files on your hard disk you will generally need to know how to open and use Windows Explorer. This is the Windows application that lets you see your folders and files; copy, move and delete folders and files; and access external media such as CDs, DVDs, USB flash drives, and external hard drives etc. Often Windows Explorer has an icon on the desktop, or in the Start menu, but depending on your operating system and use of your computer, not necessarily so. Below is a quick way to open Windows Explorer that you can always use.
