Build a Simple Digital Filing System for Windows

Here is how to take a messy small-business computer and build a simple filing system from scratch, including folder structure, file naming, where documents are stored, scanning paper, finding documents, backups and maintaining the system. This course helps small business owners and administrators move from the frustration of misplaced documents to a state of total control. You will learn to create a logical, predictable filing system on your Windows 10 or 11 computer from the ground up. The curriculum covers essential file management skills, including clear naming conventions, organized folder structures, and efficient search techniques. By the end of this program, you will have a working digital filing system that ensures any employee can find an invoice, contract, or quote quickly and easily. No prior knowledge is required. Course Length Approximately 3 to 5 hours, self-paced Most learners can expect to complete the course in approximately 3 to 5 hours. The exact time will depend on your comfort level with Windows and how much time you spend completing the practical exercises. This is a hands-on course, so you will not simply read through the material. As you progress, you will create folders, organize documents, practice file naming, work with everyday business files, find documents using Windows, and begin building a filing system you can actually use. Learners who are already comfortable using Windows may complete the course more quickly, while beginners may want to take additional time to practice each step.
