A folder is like a file cabinet in which you can keep your files. In other words, a folder
                  is a collection of files. A folder is also known as a directory. A folder can contain many
                  sub-folders with files in them. The icon of a folder is different from the icon of a file.

                  Double-clicking a folder icon shows the list or thumbnails of files in the folder.

                  most of its files. This helps your computer system to find the right files to use when
                  running a program.
