Course Description
Information. It runs our lives. But what if things were turned the other way around...
This is a course about Information -- your Information.
More specifically, this is a course about Information Management.
What's that? you might ask.
To me, Information Management defines three tasks: Search, Storage and Retrieval.
Here's how it works.
From out of seeming chaos (i.e. your computer disk drive or the Internet) you Search for and begin to organize Information. But you typically only do this once, because the next step is to Store that Information into well named data structures (i.e. Directories and Files) -- that support easy access. The next time you need the Information there is no need to Search again since the Information you need has been Stored for easy Retrieval.
This course begins with Windows 10 Information Search, Storage and Retrieval using File Explorer. This section of the course is Windows specific and addresses the following topics:
- Windows 10 Application Search and Pinning
- Overview of the Windows 10 File Explorer
- Manageable Directory Structures and File Naming Conventions
- Data Management Applications (Word, Excel and PowerPoint)
- File Name and File Type Searches with File Explorer
The second half of the course addresses Internet Information Management using Google to Search and the Chrome browser Favorites feature to Store an Retrieve Information. This section includes information on Basic and Advanced Google Search along with introductory information on more advanced Search result Storage and Retrieval .
This section of the course is operating system agnostic and addresses the following topics:
- Basic Google Search
- Advanced Google Search
- Managing and Using Chrome Browser Favorites
That's it. Short and sweet.
Consider this:
- If you're just going to buy your 200th Udemy course and then store it away and never watch it, why not buy this short and cheap course?
- If you're actually going to commit to watching the next Udemy course you buy (i.e. this one) why not buy a short one (i.e. this one) that you're likely to complete.
- Okay, here comes a bit of a stretch... If you're willing to buy this course and watch it... please leave a fair and honest review.
That's it for your part.
So, what's our part of the contract? you might ask. Because you'll notice I have a partner this time out. John Hesnan of Galway, Ireland.
How about if we offer:
- Quality information delivered in a clear and well-paced manner at a reasonable price
- Exemplary student support after you purchase the course
Sorry, that's all you get this time... wait a second... that's everything we have to offer! Argh! Not again!
Seriously, take the course and see if it teaches you something. If not, there's always the Udemy 30-day money back guaranty to fall back on. Argh! Not that!
We'll see you in the classroom,

Brian Jackson
Hello,
My name is Brian Jackson. I'm the author of about a dozen books, the publisher of well over 100 books, and a Udemy instructor with over 40 courses.
This is my story...
1 Origins
I was born in the middle of the last century in Los Angeles, California. I graduated from Humboldt State University, surrounded by the redwoods of Northern California. After 14 years at Lockheed Missiles and Space as an IBM system programmer and 12 years at Cisco Systems as a test engineer, I retired at 48.
I instantly became bored.
2 Community College
To break the boredom, I enrolled at Columbia Community College to take writing, art, acting and statistics classes. I took 24 units over one year and received straight “A”s.
I was still bored.
3 Writing and Self-publishing
I began writing fiction and nonfiction books and self-publishing them on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords in July 2011. Though I wrote and published several books, my self-publishing business didn’t take off until my wife joined me.
4 My Wife and Author, Melanie Jackson
Melanie Jackson, my wife, was an author publishing over two romance novels per year through her New York publisher, Dorchester Press. After publishing 24 novels with Dorchester, the company folded, and Melanie was without a publisher (she wanted to write cozy mysteries anyway).

Very well delivered and easy to follow instructions.
By Stuart Franklin on 1/28/2022
I would like to see the cursor moving on the screen to see what is going on .
By Joseph Applegarth on 8/26/2021
Excellent tutorial about essential organizational tools that all computer users must know.
By joro ........ on 8/19/2021
Great video. Well explained and very easy to understand but I deduct a star and a half because its hard to follow an explanation of where something is when it wouldve been ideal to have,at least,a moving mouse cursor to see exactly where you are in the lesson. Besides that exceptional course
By Markus Shepherd on 1/5/2019
