Windows 10中文件资源管理器(File Explorer)的最佳功能之一是其功能区用户界面(ribbon user interface)，它引入了一个选项卡和按钮系统，使用户可以更轻松地处理文件和文件夹。主页选项卡是您在使用(Home)文件资源管理器(File Explorer)浏览文件和文件夹时最常需要的工具的地方。在本教程中，我们向您展示了使用“主页”(Home)选项卡的九种方法，以便您成为文件资源管理器(File Explorer)的高效用户：
1. 使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)和剪贴板复制、粘贴或剪切文件和文件夹
进入Home选项卡很简单，因为它会在您启动File Explorer时默认加载。当您在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中并且您已离开主页(Home)选项卡时，单击或点击主页(Home)。如果功能区已最小化，请双击或双击“主页”(Home)选项卡以将其展开，并查看其所有选项。
主页(Home)选项卡的剪贴板部分处理从计算机剪贴板中添加和删除信息，当您执行复制或剪切命令(copy or cut command)时，信息存储在此处。您可以使用此部分中的工具根据需要复制、剪切和粘贴项目，以及将文件夹固定到文件资源管理器的(File Explorer)快速访问(Quick access)部分。
如果您现在正在浏览的文件夹是您经常使用的文件夹之一，您可能希望将其固定到“快速访问(Quick access)”部分，以便始终轻松访问它。为此，您所要做的就是单击或点击剪贴板(Clipboard)部分中的“固定到快速访问”("Pin to Quick access")按钮。
如果要复制文件、文件夹或您在当前文件夹中选择的所有内容。单击或点击(click or tap) 复制(Copy)。这使得 Windows 10 将所选文件或文件夹(file or folder)的副本添加到剪贴板。例如，在下面的屏幕截图中，我们选择从Documents复制(Documents)Digital Citizen文件夹。
然后，您可以导航到要粘贴(Paste)复制项目的位置。单击或点击粘贴(Paste)会获取剪贴板中的信息并将其保存到文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中当前打开的位置。为了继续我们的示例，在下面的屏幕截图中，我们选择将Digital Citizen文件夹粘贴到我们的桌面上。
如果要剪切(Cut)文件、文件夹或各种项目的选择，按剪切(Cut)会将它们从文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中的当前位置删除，并将所有内容放在剪贴板中。然后转到您要移动剪切项目的位置并粘贴(Paste)它们。
有时，您可能还需要使用文件夹或文件(folder or file)的完整路径。为了轻松获得它，您可以导航到它并按“复制路径(Copy Path)”按钮，这会将完整路径的副本保存到所选文件或文件夹(file or folder)。
此外，有时，您只需要创建文件或文件夹的快捷方式。为此，文件资源管理器的(File Explorer's) 主页(Home)选项卡为您提供粘贴快捷方式(Paste Shortcut)按钮。它在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)的当前位置创建剪贴板中找到的文件或文件夹的快捷方式。
在我们的示例中，我们之前复制了Digital Citizen文件夹：如果我们要导航到桌面(Desktop)并按Paste Shortcut，则会在其上创建一个Digital Citizen的快捷方式，而不是复制文件夹及其全部内容。
2. 使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)通过移动、复制、删除或重命名来组织您的文件和文件夹
主页(Home)选项卡的组织(Organize)部分处理使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)移动、命名和删除文件。本节中有四种工具可供您使用：移动到、复制到、删除(Move to, Copy to, Delete,)和重命名(Rename)。
移动到(Move to)允许您剪切选定的文件或文件夹并将它们粘贴到您选择的位置。按“移动到”("Move to")按钮打开一个菜单，您可以从中选择一个位置来移动所选文件或文件夹。菜单中填充了常用位置。但是，如果您没有找到您要找的地方，请单击或点击(click or tap) “选择位置”("Choose location")并浏览到您想要的地方。
您可以使用复制来(Copy to)创建当前选定文件或文件夹的副本，并将其粘贴到您选择的位置。单击或点击“复制到”("Copy to")授予您访问菜单的权限，您可以在该菜单中选择复制所选项目的位置。
单击或点击删除(Delete)会从您的 Windows 10 PC 或设备(PC or device)中删除选定的文件和文件夹。如果您单击或点击删除(Delete)按钮，您选择的文件或文件夹将被发送到回收站(Recycle Bin)。如果您想要更多选项，可以单击或点击“删除(Delete)”按钮下方的向下箭头以查看菜单。从那里您可以选择将文件发送到您的回收站(Recycle Bin)或永久删除它。
如果需要，您还可以通过单击或点击“显示回收确认”("Show recycle confirmation.")来切换是否要在删除文件时看到确认。
如果您不想移动、复制或删除所选项目，但想更改其名称，请单击或点击(click or tap) 重命名(Rename)，然后为其键入新名称。
3.使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)创建(Create)文件和文件夹
在“主页”选项卡的“(Home)新建”(New)部分中，您可以使用一些工具来创建文件和文件夹。如果单击或点击“新建文件夹”(New Folder)按钮，您可以在当前位置创建一个新文件夹。
单击或点击新建项目(New item)，显示的菜单可以帮助您创建新文件夹、快捷方式或所选类型(chosen type)的文件。但是，请注意，只有一些常用的文件类型可供选择。
4. 使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)让您的本地和网络文件夹更易于访问
轻松访问(Easy access)按钮使您可以访问使访问文件更容易的工具。根据所选文件或文件夹(file or folder)，以及您在Windows 10中所做的其他设置，此菜单可以让您“将 [所选文件夹] 包含在 [a] 库中”、“将 [它] 映射为驱动器”、("Include [the selected folder] in [a] library", "Map [it] as drive",)使其“始终可见脱机”，同步("Always visible offline", Sync)它*，*或开始脱机工作(Work offline)。
“包含在库中”("Include in library")将所选文件夹添加到您选择的库中，如果您已配置它们：文档、音乐、视频、图片(Documents, Music, Videos, Pictures)或您创建的库。
如果您经常使用本地网络中的文件夹（在其他计算机上找到），则“轻松访问”(Easy Access)菜单中的其他选项很有用
- “映射为驱动器”("Map as drive")允许您将任何文件夹或网络驱动器(folder or network drive)映射为计算机上的本地驱动器。
- 始终离线可用(Always available offline)- 即使您未连接到网络，这也使您可以使用网络文件和文件夹。
- 同步(Sync)- 这会同步您离线时对网络文件所做的任何更改。
- 脱机工作(Work offline)- 这会断开所选网络驱动器(network drive)的连接，以便您可以脱机工作。
请注意(Notice)，根据您在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中选择的内容，其中一些选项显示为灰色且不可用。在选择文件时，您可能可以访问不同的选项，而不是选择文件夹或库。
5.查看或更改文件和文件夹的属性
“主页”(Home)选项卡的“打开(Open)”部分为您提供了帮助您打开和处理文件的工具。这里有四种工具可供使用：属性、打开、编辑(Properties, Open, Edit,)和历史记录(History)。属性(Properties)允许您访问或编辑您选择的文件或文件夹的属性(Properties)对话框。单击或点击它会打开“属性(Properties)”对话框，但您可以通过单击按钮下方的向下箭头来获得更多选项。从这里，您可以选择简单地打开对话框，或者您可以通过单击或点击“删除属性”从文件中删除元数据标签。("Remove properties.")
选择“删除属性”("Remove Properties")会打开一个对话框，让您创建一个没有元数据的文件副本，(file copy)或者挑选(metadata or cherry pick)要从所选文件中删除的标签。要创建属性(Properties)免费文件，请选择“创建删除所有可能属性的副本”("Create a copy with all possible properties removed")，然后单击或点击确定(OK)。要从文件属性中删除特定信息，请选择“从此文件中删除以下属性”("Remove the following properties from this file,") ，选择要删除的属性，然后单击或点击确定。(OK.)
6. 使用不同的应用程序打开文件和文件夹
如果您不想使用其默认应用程序(default app)打开(Open)文件，请单击或点击(click or tap)打开。这使您可以使用 Windows 10 PC 或设备(PC or device)上安装的任何应用程序打开所选文件。从列表中选择一个，通过导航到 PC 上的可执行文件“选择另一个应用程序” ，或("Choose another app")“搜索 Microsoft Store”("Search the Microsoft Store")以查找可以下载和安装的兼容应用程序。
7. 使用默认应用编辑文件
文件资源管理器的(File Explorer's) 主页(Home)选项卡还包括一个按钮，可让您轻松编辑某些类型的文件。单击(Click)或点击编辑，(Edit,) Windows 10(Windows 10)会在所选文件类型的(chosen file type)默认应用程序(default application)中打开所选文件进行编辑。这通常适用于文档和图像等可编辑文件，只要您的PC 或设备(PC or device)上安装了兼容的应用程序即可。例如，文档可能在Word中打开，而图像在Paint中打开。
8. 使用历史记录恢复文件的旧版本
如果您想回溯某个文件的时间，这意味着您想在文件更改或编辑之前恢复其旧版本之一，您可以使用Windows 10的文件历史记录(File History)功能。在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中，单击或点击历史记录(History)按钮，Windows 10 将授予您访问所选文件历史记录的权限，前提是您已配置文件历史记录(File History)。
9. 在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)中更快地选择文件和文件夹

9 ways to manage files with File Explorer, from the Home tab
One of the best things about File Explorer in Windows 10 is its ribbon user interface, which introduces a system of tabs and buttons that make it easier for users to work with files and folders. The Home tab is where you find the tools that you need most often while browsing files and folders with File Explorer. In this tutorial, we show you nine ways to use the Home tab so that you can become a productive user of File Explorer:
1. Copy, paste, or cut files and folders using File Explorer and the clipboard
Getting to the Home tab is simple because it loads by default when you start File Explorer. When you are in the File Explorer and you have navigated away from the Home tab, click or tap Home. If the ribbon is minimized, double click or double tap the Home tab to expand it, and see all its options.
The clipboard section of the Home tab deals with adding and removing information from your computer's clipboard, which is where information is stored when you execute a copy or cut command. You can use the tools from this section to copy, cut, and paste items as you want, as well as pin folders to the Quick access section of File Explorer.
If the folder that you are browsing right now is one of the folders you use often, you might want to pin it to your Quick access section, so that it is always easy to get to it. For that, all you have to do is click or tap the "Pin to Quick access" button from the Clipboard section.
If you want to copy a file, a folder, or everything that you selected in the current folder. click or tap Copy. That makes Windows 10 add a copy of the selected file or folder to the clipboard. For example, in the screenshot below, we chose to copy the Digital Citizen folder from Documents.
Then, you can navigate to where you want to Paste the copied items. Clicking or tapping on Paste takes the information in the clipboard and saves it to the currently open location in File Explorer. To continue with our example, in the screenshot below, we chose to paste the Digital Citizen folder on our desktop.
If you want to Cut a file, a folder or a selection of various items, pressing Cut removes them from their current location in File Explorer and places everything in the clipboard. Then go to where you want to move the cut items and Paste them.
At times, you might also need to use the full path to a folder or file. To get it easily, you can navigate to it and press the Copy Path button, which saves a copy of the full path to the selected file or folder.
Furthermore, sometimes, you only need to create a shortcut to a file or a folder. For that, File Explorer's Home tab gives you the Paste Shortcut button. It creates a shortcut to the files or folders found in the clipboard, in the current location in File Explorer.
In our example, we previously copied the Digital Citizen folder: if we were to navigate to the Desktop and press Paste Shortcut, a shortcut to Digital Citizen would be created on it instead of copying the folder and its entire contents.
2. Organize your files and folders by moving, copying, deleting or renaming them with File Explorer
The Organize section of the Home tab deals with moving, naming and removing files with File Explorer. There are four tools at your disposal in this section: Move to, Copy to, Delete, and Rename.
Move to allows you to cut the selected files or folders and paste them in a location you select. Pressing the "Move to" button opens a menu from which you can select a location to move your selected files or folders. The menu is populated with commonly used locations. However, if you do not find the place you are looking for, click or tap "Choose location" and browse to the place you want.
You can use Copy to create a copy of the currently selected files or folders and paste it in a location of your choosing. Clicking or tapping "Copy to" grants you access to a menu where you choose the location where the selected items get copied.
Clicking or tapping on Delete removes the selected files and folders from your Windows 10 PC or device. If you click or tap the Delete button, your selected file(s) or folder(s) are sent to the Recycle Bin. If you want more options though, you can click or tap the down arrow below the Delete button to view a menu. From there you can choose to send the file to your Recycle Bin or permanently delete it.
If you want, you can also toggle whether or not you want to see a confirmation when you delete a file by clicking or tapping "Show recycle confirmation."
If you do not want to move, copy, or delete the selected item, but you want to change its name, click or tap Rename, and then type the new name for it.
3. Create files and folders using File Explorer
In the New section of the Home tab, there are tools which you can use to create files and folders. If you click or tap on the New Folder button, you can create a new folder, in your current location.
Click or tap on New item and the menu that shows up can help you create a new folder, shortcut, or file of your chosen type. However, note that only some commonly used file types are available to choose.
4. Make your local and network folders easier to access with File Explorer
The Easy access button gives you access to tools that make accessing your files easier. Depending on the selected file or folder, as well as other settings you made in Windows 10, this menu can let you "Include [the selected folder] in [a] library", "Map [it] as drive", make it "Always visible offline", Sync it*,* or start Work offline.
"Include in library" adds the selected folder to a library of your choice, if you have them configured: either Documents, Music, Videos, Pictures or a library that you created.
The other options from the Easy Access menu are useful if you often work with folders from your local network, found on other computers
- "Map as drive" lets you map any folder or network drive as a local drive on your computer.
- Always available offline - This makes network files and folders available to you even when you are not connected to the network.
- Sync - This syncs any changes made to network files when you were offline.
- Work offline - This disconnects the selected network drive so you can work offline.
Notice that some of these options are grayed out and unavailable depending on what you choose in File Explorer. You might have access to different options when selecting a file, versus a folder or a library.
5. View or change the properties of files and folders
The Open section of the Home tab gives you tools to help you open and work with your files. There are four tools to use here: Properties, Open, Edit, and History. Properties lets you access or edit your selected file's or folder's Properties dialog. Clicking or tapping on it opens the Properties dialog, but you can get more options by clicking the down arrow below the button. From here, you can choose to simply open the dialog, or you can remove metadata tags from your file by clicking or tapping "Remove properties."
Selecting "Remove Properties" opens a dialog that lets you create a file copy without metadata or cherry pick which tags to remove from the selected file. To create a Properties free file, select "Create a copy with all possible properties removed" and then click or tap OK. To remove specific information from your file's properties, select "Remove the following properties from this file," select which properties to remove and then click or tap OK.
6. Open files and folders using different apps
If you do not want to open a file with its default app, click or tap on Open. This lets you open the selected file using any of the apps installed on your Windows 10 PC or device. Choose one from the list, "Choose another app" by navigating to its executable file on your PC, or "Search the Microsoft Store" for a compatible app that you can download and install.
7. Edit files using default apps
File Explorer's Home tab also includes a button that makes it easy for you to edit certain types of files. Click or tap on Edit, and Windows 10 opens the selected file for editing in the default application for the chosen file type. This usually works for editable files such as documents and images, as long as there are compatible apps installed on your PC or device. For example, documents might open in Word, while images open in Paint.
8. Recover old versions of your files using History
If you want to go back in time regarding a file, meaning that you want to recover one of its older versions, before it has changed or before you edited it, you can use Windows 10's File History feature. In File Explorer, click or tap the History button and Windows 10 grants you access to the history of your selected file, provided you have File History configured.
9. Select files and folders faster in File Explorer
The Select section houses tools to help you select file and folders from the current File Explorer window. There are three tools to choose from: Select all, Select none, and Invert Selection.
"Select all" selects all the files and folders from the File Explorer window. "Select none" deselects all files and folders, and "Invert Selection" deselects any selected files and folders and selects all the unselected files and folders.
Would you add anything else to this list?
As you can see, the Home tab makes it easy to access lots of functions and tools. You do not have to browse through deep menus or right-click and navigate context menus. All the tools you need for basic file manipulation are right there lined up and ready at the top of File Explorer. Do you have any other tips to add to our list?
