Windows File Management


File management is a necessary evil for Windows systems administrators. Windows file management is made up of all the operations administrators need to perform on files (such as creatign and assigning permissions), as well as working with newer Windows file systems such as FAT32 and NTFS. The importance of file management on a Windows network is clear, but that doesn't make it any easier to do. This topic page offers a wide variety of Windows file management tutorials, tips and tricks for Windows administrators. Here you'll find advice on more traditional file management concepts, as well as innovative techniques to optimize your Windows file system to increase performance of systems running Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and more.
