                  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 called sub 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 according to the file type.

                  A folder is like a file cabinet in which you can store 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                 Folder
