                  A Folder is like a file cabinet in which you can keep your files. There are thousands
                  of files in your computer. Instead of storing every file in your computer’s hard disk,

                  you can arrange them into folders.
                  Folders are used to store and organise files and other sub folder. A folder within a

                  folder is called a subfolder. Sub folders are basically created by the users.

                        The word ‘file’ derives from the Latin filum (‘a thread’).

                       MANAGING FILES OR FOLDERS

                  When you install any program, it creates its own folder on your hard disk where
                  it keeps most of its files. This helps your computer system to find the right files to
                  use when running a program. Keeping files organised in folders can also help when
                  you are working with your PC. You can use folders to sort your files into separate
                  categories. Here is a list of some of the common folders in which you can store

                  your file/folder.
                      Documents: This folder is mainly used to store Writer files, Calc files, Impress
                     files and other business oriented files.

                      Pictures: This folder is used to store all your digital pictures that can be copied
                     from a camera or downloaded from the Internet.

                      Music: This folder is used to store music files, such as songs copied from an
                     audio CD or downloaded from the Internet.
                      Videos: This folder  is used to store  videos  taken  from  a  digital  camera  or
                     downloaded from the Internet.

                      Downloads: This folder is used to store the files that are downloaded from the
                     Internet.
                  For this, you need to learn to create folders and subfolders, naming them, renaming
                  them when needed, delete when they are not needed, etc.
