To open a folder on your pen drive, you need to access the drive through your computer's file management system, typically called File Explorer on Windows.
Here are the simple steps to access your pen drive and open a folder on it:
Step-by-Step Guide to Opening a Folder on Your Pen Drive
Accessing content on your pen drive involves plugging it in and navigating through your computer's file system.
1. Plug In Your Pen Drive
Begin by inserting your pen drive into an available USB port on your computer. Ensure it is securely connected.
2. Open File Explorer
As demonstrated in the reference, you need to open File Explorer to view the contents of your computer's drives, including your pen drive. You can do this in two primary ways on a Windows PC:
- Click on the folder icon located on the taskbar.
- Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press the 'E' key simultaneously. This action will open File Explorer in a new window.
3. Locate Your Pen Drive
Once File Explorer is open, look for your pen drive listed among the available drives. It is usually found in the left-hand pane under "This PC" or "Computer" and will be assigned a drive letter (like D:, E:, F:, etc.). It might also show a label such as "USB Drive" or the manufacturer's name.
4. Open the Pen Drive
Double-click on the icon representing your pen drive in File Explorer. This action opens the pen drive and displays its contents, showing you all the files and folders stored on it.
5. Open the Desired Folder
Within the window showing your pen drive's contents, locate the folder you wish to open. To open it, simply double-click on the folder's icon. This will display the files and subfolders contained within that specific folder.
By following these steps, you can easily navigate to and open any folder stored on your pen drive to access its contents.
