Open the file manager now, by clicking on the NWE button at the bottom right of the screen and selecting "File Manager" from the menu. You'll see something like this:

Here's a list of the functions for each menu. Many of them are self-explanatory. Don't worry about learning all of them -- we'll cover the most important ones in the documentation on the next few pages. We'll also provide a comprehensive resource -- the last of these pages.

The right-button method is a bit handier, although it's hard to find by guesswork. Try this: click on one of your files or folders with the right mouse button. A menu should pop up.
