                 You learnt about the files in the previous class. Now, 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 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.

                 A folder is similar to a file cabinet in which you can keep your files.
                 Your computer has thousands of files. Instead of saving each file on

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