# 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](/file-and-folder-management-windows-edition/opening-multiple-explorer-windows.md). 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`<br>
* To go up a level in the folder tree, use the **back** button in the **Explorer** window.
