hidden. This effect is more useful in a web browser than at the

                             desktop, but you never know; sometimes you want to see
                             everything in a folder.

                             Shift+Ctrl+E adjusts the navigation pane so it reveals the
                             folder path of whatever window is open right now, expanding

                             the indented folder icons as necessary.

                             Press letter keys to highlight a folder or file that begins with

                             that letter, or press the   and   keys to “walk” up and down a
                             list of icons.



                           Refresh (      ). If you suspect that the window contents aren’t up to
                           date (for example, that maybe somebody has just dropped

                           something new into it from across the network), then click this
                           button, or press F5, to make Windows update the display.

                           looking for within this window.



                What to Type into the Address Bar


                When you click the tiny folder icon at the left end of the address bar (or
                press Alt+D), the bracket   notation changes to the slash\notation, meaning
                that you can edit the address. At this point, the address bar is like the little

                opening in the glass divider that lets you speak to your New York cab
                driver; you tell it where you want to go. Here’s what you can type there
                (press Enter afterward):


                           A web address. You can leave off the https:// portion. Just type the
                           body of the web address, such as www.sony.com, into this strip.

                           When you press Enter (or click the   button to the right of the
                           address box, called the Go button), your web browser opens to the

                           web page you specified.
