FILE OR FOLDER
All the data stored on your computer’s hard disk consists of files and folders. Files
are used to store data and folders are used to store and organise files and other
folders.
A file is a document that contains a collection of related information. The file in a
computer can be a text, spreadsheet, presentation, picture, music or even movie. It
is represented by an icon. By looking at a file’s icon, you can tell at a glance, what
kind of file it is. Here are some common file icons.

A Folder is like a file cabinet in which you can keep your files. There are thousands
of files in your computer. Instead of storing every file in your computer’s hard disk,
you can arrange them into folders.
Folders are used to store and organise files and other sub folder. A folder within
a folder is called a subfolder. Sub folders are basiclly created by the users. Main
folder is also called a parent folder and subfolder as child folder.
