You learnt about the files in the previous class. Now, learn more about files and

A file is a document that contains a set of related information and is used for storing
data. On a computer, files can include text documents, spreadsheets, images, music,
or videos. Each file is represented by an icon, which allows you to quickly identify the
type of file. Here are some examples of common file icons.
Document file Excel file PowerPoint file Music file Video file

a folder icon on the screen as shown in the figure.
Folders are used to store and manage files and subfolders. A folder
