Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Chapter 4 File Management 165 General Tab The General tab of the Properties dialog box lists information such as the fi le type, the size of the data contained and the size of the fi le on the disk, and the path to the folder where the fi le is located. The fi le name is displayed in a text box at the top of the tab and may be renamed there. Also listed are three dates and times. • Created is the date and time when the fi le was created. • Modifi ed is the date and time when the fi le was last changed. • Accessed is the date and time when the fi le was last opened, but not saved. The software program associated with the fi le type is indicated in the Opens with: area. This is the software that will be launched when the fi le icon is double-clicked in Windows File Explorer. To change the associated software, click the Change… button. In the Open with dialog box that is displayed, a different software program can be selected. The association is applied to all fi les of the fi le type. A fi le attribute is a characteristic of a fi le about the display, archiving, and save status of fi les. There are two fi le attributes that can be set on the General tab: • read-only • hidden Read-only permits no editing, saving, or deleting. Check the Read- only check box to guard against accidental overwriting. Users may view it, but may not overwrite it. Hidden keeps the fi le from being listed in bikeriderlondon/Shutterstock.com Good file management is a key to successful computing.
