                 All the data stored on your computer’s hard disk consists of files and folders. Basically, files
                 are used to store data and folders are used to store and organise files and other folders.


                        FILES AND FOLDERS


                 A file is a document that you may find on someone’s desk or in a filing cabinet. It is an item

                 that contains a collection of related information. Similarly, a file in a computer can be a text
                 document, spreadsheet, picture, music or even movie.

                 A file in a computer system is represented by an icon. Here are some common file icons:









                        Word file         Spreadsheet file     Image file           Video file          Music file


                 A folder is like a file cabinet in which you can keep your files. In other
                 words, a folder is a collection of files.

                 You can see a folder icon on the screen as shown in the figure. Folders
                 do not only store files but also other folders. A folder within a folder is

                 called a subfolder. A number of subfolders can be created into a folder,
                 which can contain number of files and additional subfolders.                            Folder


                        FILE EXPLORER


                 File Explorer is a file manager that manages files and folders. It is used to create, view,
                 delete, rename, copy, move and search files and folders.
