                  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 data. A file on a computer can be a text document, spreadsheet,
                  picture, music, or even a 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.

                  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.
                                                                                                              Folder
                  Folders are used to store and organise files and other subfolders. A
                  folder within a folder is called a subfolder.
