What is a File?
Any data in the computer is stored in the form of a file. That is why a file is said to be a collection of logically related
data. Every file has its own unique name which is made up of two parts: file name (A filename can consist of letters,
numbers, spaces, and characters) and extension (that identifies the file type). They both are separated by period
(. ). For example,
Mynotes.docx → is a MS Word file.
Myproject.pptx → is a MS PowerPoint file.
Myfriendslist.xlsx → is a MS Spreadsheet.
Essay.odt → is an OpenOffice document.
Photo.jpg → is an image file.

What is a Folder?
Folder is a collection of related files and subfolders. A sub-folder may contain one or more files and subfolders
within. Folders do not occupy any disk space. They point to specific file locations within the file system of the
computer. There is no limit on the number of folders or subfolders that can be created in Windows. The main
advantage of creating folders and subfolders is that it helps in organizing the data found in the system in a proper
hierarchical manner.
Creating and Managing Files and Folders
Since folders and subfolders are organized following a proper hierarchical file system of any storage device,
sometimes they are also called directories or subdirectories .The first directory in the hierarchical system is called
root directory and is represented as C:\ or D:\.
