You learnt about the files in the previous class. Let us learn more about files and
also about folders. All the data stored on your computer’s hard disk consists of
files and folders.
FILE/FOLDER
A file is a document that contains a collection of related information. Basically, it is
used to store the data. The file in a computer can be a text document, spreadsheet,
picture, music or even movie. It is represented by an icon. By looking at a file’s icon,
you can tell, what kind of file it is. Here are some common file icons.
Document file Spreadsheet file Image file Music file Video file
A Folder is like a file cabinet in which you can keep files of any type.
There are thousands of files on your computer. Instead of storing every
file directly 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.
CREATING A NEW FOLDER
You can create a new folder on the desktop as well as on the computer drive.
