                                FILES AND FOLDERS

                      You might have organised your school assignments in different folders so that you could

                      find them easily. For a similar reason, Windows 10 lets us organise our work in the form of
                      files and folders. Let us learn more about them.

                      FILES
                      The work we do or the information we collect is saved in the form of files. For example, the

                      drawing we make in Paint, the story or poem we type in Word, or the songs and videos
                      we download from the Internet, everything is stored as separate files on the computer. A

                      file is a collection of data and information, stored on a storage device such as a hard disk,
                      pen drive and CD/ DVD.

                      Every file is given a name and is associated with a file extension like .odt for Writer files,
                      .ods for Calc files which describes its type. Each type of file has its own specific icon. This

                      helps us to identify the type of file by just looking at the icon.

                                   Writer file            Calc file            Music file           Video file

                      FOLDER

                      A folder is a file cabinet where we can store our files and other subfolders.
                      It helps us to keep our files organised. A folder is also known as directory.
                      All related files are generally kept in a folder so that we can locate them

                      easily when required. The icon of a folder is different from the icon of a file.
                      A folder inside a folder is called a subfolder.
                                                                                                               Folder
