There are three ways to access Windows Explorer: Using the Start Menu

The way that most people access Windows is Explorer is a four-click process. Click on the Start button. Click on the All Programs menu. Click on Accessories. Click on Windows Explorer. Using the Shortcut Menu

To cut out half the clicks, you can use a shortcut menu. Right-click on the Start button. Click on Explore. Using the Quick Launch Toolbar

If you have the Quick Launch toolbar showing, you can get to Windows Explorer in a single click! Simply click on the Windows Explorer icon in the toolbar. (It resembles an open file folder with a magnifying glass in front of it.)

NOTE: If you don't see the Quick Launch Toolbar, right-click anywhere in an empty part of the taskbar and choose Properties. On the Taskbar tab, click in the Quick Launch checkbox and then click OK.
