MANAGING FILES OR FOLDERS

                 When you install any program, it creates its own folder on your hard disk where
                 it keeps most of its files. This helps your computer system to find the right files to

                 use when running a program. Keeping files organised in folders can also help when
                 you are working with your PC. You can use folders to sort your files into separate
                 categories. Here is a list of some of the common folders in which you can store
                 your file/folder.

                       Documents: This folder is mainly used to store Writer files, Calc files, Impress
                       files and other business oriented files.

                       Pictures: This folder is used to store all your digital pictures that can be
                       copied from a camera or downloaded from the Internet.

                       Music: This folder is used to store music files, such as songs copied from an
                       audio CD or downloaded from the Internet.
                       Videos: This folder is used to store videos taken from a digital camera or

                       downloaded from the Internet.
                       Downloads: This folder is used to store the files that are downloaded from

                       the Internet.
                 For this, you need to learn to create folders and subfolders, naming them, renaming
                 them when needed, delete when they are not needed, etc.
