Where can I find the Windows Explorer?

If your keyboard has a “Windows Key”, then Windows+E brings up Windows Explorer. Right click on My Computer, and click on Explore. Click on Start, then Run, and enter in a folder name, like “C:”, and click OK – that will open up Windows Explorer (without the left hand navigation pane) on that folder.

What is the role of Windows Explorer?

Windows Explorer is the file management application in Windows. Windows Explorer can be used to navigate your hard drive and display the contents of the folders and subfolders you use to organize your files on your hard drive. Windows Explorer is automatically launched any time you open a folder in Windows XP.
