                  You learnt about files in previous class. Let us now, learn more about files and also about

                  A file is a document that contains a collection of related information. Basically, it is used
                  to store data. A file on a computer can be a text document, spreadsheet, picture, music,
                  or even a movie. It is represented by an icon. By looking at a file’s icon, you can tell at a

                  glance what kind of file it is. Here are some common file icons.

                  A Folder is like a file cabinet in which you can keep your files. There are
                  thousands of files on your computer. Instead of storing every file on your

                  computer’s hard disk, you can arrange them into folders. You can see a folder
                  icon on the screen as shown in the figure.
                  Folders are used to store and organise files and other subfolders. A folder                Folder
                  within a folder is called a subfolder.
