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, is stored as a file. 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.

                 Folder

                 A folder is a file cabinet where we can store our files and other subfolders.
                 It helps us to keep our files organised. The icon of a folder is different from
                 the icon of a file. A folder inside a folder is called a subfolder.
