+<h1>Project Explorer view</h1>
+<p>The Project Explorer view displays, in a tree structure similar to the C/C++ Projects view, but it is not limited to C and C++ projects. In this view you can do the following:
+<ul>
+ <li>Browse the elements of C/C++ source files</li>
+ <li>Open files in the editor view</li>
+ <li>Open projects in a new window</li>
+ <li>Create new projects, classes, files, or folders</li>
+ <li>Manage existing files (cut, paste, delete, move or rename)</li>
+ <li>Restore deleted files from local history</li>
+ <li>Import or Export files and projects</li>
+</ul>
+
+Files that you select in the Project Explorer view affect the information that is displayed in other views.</p>
