It enables the learner to manage the computer efficientl" b" performing basic troubleshooting and maintenance related activities. In addition% it explains ho an operating s"stem manages all activities of a computer. To cover all the above aspects% this course is divided into four sub&modules% 'or#ing ith PC% (no "our PC% )aintain "our PC% and *perating +"stem ,rchitecture. Working with PC This sub module introduces the learner to a computer and its main components. The learner comes to #no about different t"pes of computers and generations of computers. In addition% this sub&module enables the learner to perform the basic tas#s on computer such as% creating and managing files and folders and changing the appearance of the des#top. The learner also learns to use applications for general use such as Calculator% Notepad and Paint. Know your PC In this module learner is introduced to various PC peripherals and storage devices that can be connected ith the PC. In addition it also covers the range of PCs such as des#top computers and portables. This module also introduces the internal parts of a computer% their functioning and their configuration. Maintain your PC This module describes the various methods to maintain "our PC. In this module% learner learns to troubleshoot the common problems faced hile or#ing on the PC. The learner also learns to use various tools that help to improve the performance of the PC. Operating System Architecture This sub module introduces the architecture of 'indo s and -inux operating s"stems. This module also explains ho the different components of -inux and 'indo s operating s"stem function. In addition% it also deals ith the main operations of both the operating s"stems such as file management% I.* management% and memor" management.

This lesson is important for the students% as the" ill be learning ho to use the 'indo s HP 1xplorer. 1mphasi!e that the 1xplorer is important hen managing files and folders on "our machine. 5sers need to change the vie and appearance of the 1xplorer hen the" are not comfortable or#ing ith the default vie . Inform the students that "ou need to change the program for a file t"pe hen a file t"pe can be opened using more than one application. Inform the students that or#ing on the computer the" need to be a are of all the file operations that can ma#e their da"&to&da" or#ing easier and more efficient. Cou should stress that if files are not arranged properl" in the 1xplorer% the" ill have difficult" in locating a specific file. Files and folders should be arranged in a hierarchical manner such that navigation is eas". ,ll file operations taught in this lesson ill be of great help in the future for managing files and folders.

Note
In this chapter% the grabs of 'indo s HP% the latest des#top operating s"stem% have been sho n. Cou ma" have different operating s"stem in "our center. 'herever the steps var" in 'indo s HP and other operating s"stem% extra inputs have been given in the student guide. Cou need to ensure that the students do not panic% if the" see different interface on their s"stems.

Additional In*uts
For managing files and folders% "ou can give the example of managing ph"sical files in cupboards. 1xplain the concept of a computer file s"stem and the need for a good file s"stem. Cou can explain that in the absence of the file organi!ation capabilit" of an *+% all the files ould be saved in the same folder and it ould be difficult to locate the file that one needs. If "ou ant to see the si!e of all the files in a folder% "ou can select the 4etails option to sho all the details of each file. Cou ma" ant to see all the bmp files in "our folder. Cou can select Arrange $cons %y ype from the &iew menu. Cou can move a file or folder b" dragging it to the reBuired destination. Inform the students that if "ou drag a file to a folder on the same dis#% it ill be moved. If "ou drag it to a folder on another dis#% it ill be copied. Instead of using the standard menus to find the command "ou need% use the right mouse button to clic# a file or folder. The menu that appears sho s the most freBuentl" used commands for that file or folder. 1xplain to the students that the" can manage their files and folders using the 1dit menu. 'hile or#ing ith the @ec"cle 6in "ou should be a are that files deleted from net or# locations or removable media :flopp" dis#s% and so on; are not stored in the @ec"cle 6in. The" are permanentl" removed hen the" are deleted. Files deleted using the File )anager or at the command prompt ill not appear in the @ec"cle 6in. In case "ou restore a file that as originall" located in a deleted folder% 'indo s recreates the folder% and then restores the file inside it. Cou can open a file that is in the @ec"cle 6in% b" dragging it onto the des#top% and then double&clic#ing its icon. 1xplain each tab of the 4ispla" Properties indo in detail. Cou can change the si!e of the des#top and adjust ho much "ou can fit in one screen. This can be done b" changing the screen resolution in 4ispla" Properties. 1xplain ho to change the s"stem date and time using the 4ate.Time Properties indo . +ho them all the options that the" can use. 1xplain that the" can change the date and time according to their location an" here in the orld.

The lesson discusses about the various input and output devices. , mouse allo s "ou to randoml" select coordinates% hich is not possible using a #e"board. , bus mouse is faster than a serial mouse because eight bits of information can be transferred at a time but in a serial mouse the information is transferred onl" one bit at a time. )ouse is classified as mechanical or optical% based on the technolog" used. , mechanical mouse is connected to the computer b" a ire. In case of optical mouse there is no ire connecting it to the computer. , mechanical mouse is more idel" used than an optical mouse. In an impact printer there is a contact bet een the t"peface and the in# ribbon and the paper. , drum printer consists of a c"linder hich has characters embedded. ,s the c"linder rotates characters get printed on the paper. In a Non&impact printer there is no contact bet een the t"peface and the paper. This ma#es the Non&Impact less nois" than the Impact Printer. In a +erial Printer the transfer of data is one bit at a time but in a Parallel printers data transfer is eight bits at a time. , scanner is used to scan images and store the image on the dis# as a file.
