Navigating a Folder Tree in Explorer

Think of a folder tree as an upside down tree. The starting point of a drive (like a USB drive or the JAMS drive) is the root. To get to a specific folder in a drive, you may need to open a folder and then open another folder (and so on.) This process is called "drilling down" in a folder tree.

To go back up in the folder tree, you can use the back button in an Explorer window.

  • To navigate to your class folder, open an Explorer window. Go to This PC (on left.) The root of the JAMS drive will appear as a connected device in the Explorer window.

  • You may need to drill down in the folder tree to navigate to where you need to be. Double-click a folder to drill down in the folder tree. The path (sequence of folders) to your class folder is: Courses\JAMS\Course-Number\Lastname-Firstname

  • To go up a level in the folder tree, use the back button in the Explorer window.
