What management does internet need?
Internet management contains different areas of servers which are provided by several companies and organizations. For instance, internet security, allocation and domain name assignment, online transportation, etc. Different companies and organizations each play important part in inter-relationships in research, development and management of the internet.
Different Internet management organizations and companies
ISOC -- Internet Society
Windows Explorer, sometimes referred to as the Windows Shell or simply Explorer, is the file management software that has been used in Windows versions from Windows 95 onwards.[1] It actually does more than just allow you to view and organize your files. It is responsible for the whole user interface of Windows. For example, on a laptop, where volume is an integrated part of the system rather than a separate physical object (unlike speakers attached to a desktop computer), the volume control is part of Explorer. This is why you can't adjust the volume on a laptop while it is turned off (the cause of many startling startup sounds in quiet classrooms).
The new version of Explorer included in Windows Vista has some differences from previous versions. Explorer now has a sidebar, which displays the hierarchy of folders in a useful nested format. It also has a frame at the bottom of the screen that displays information about whichever folder or file is selected.
Nautilus
Nautilus, a common file manager on Linux operating systems, is quite similar to Windows Explorer. In Linux, all of your folders (such as Documents, Music, etc.) are contained within a folder called Home, which is like the folder whose name is your user name in Windows Vista.
Nautilus contains an address bar, located at the top of the screen, in which you can type in a destination. So, if you know the exact path to get to where you want to go, you don't need to go through all the intermediate levels of folders. Folder names in the path are separated by forward slashes ('/'), as opposed to the backward slashes used in Windows. (Eg. /Home/Documents/Homework)
Finder
Finder is the file management software on Mac OS and Mac OS X. It looks quite a bit different from other file managers. Finder displays a series of frames, going from left to right. For each step you take through a file hierarchy, it displays the contents of the folder you click on in the next frame. This means that at any time you can easily move back up the hierarchy.
