                               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 11 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 .docx for Word files,
                     .xlsx for Excel 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.

                         Document file         Excel file       PowerPoint 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
