A Folder is like a file cabinet in which you can keep your files. In other words, a
folder is a collection of files. If you put thousands of paper files on someone’s desk,
it would be impossible to find a particular file when you need it. That is why people
often store paper files in folders inside a cabinet. So, arranging the files into groups
makes it easy to locate a particular file.
Folders do not only store files but also store other folders. A folder within a folder
is called a subfolder. Any number of subfolders can be created into a folder, which
can contain a number of files and additional subfolders.
ORGANISING FILE/FOLDER
When you install any program, it creates its own folder on your hard disk where it
keeps most of its files. This helps your computer system to find the right files to use
when running a program.
Keeping files organised in folders helps you when you are working with your PC.
You can use folders to sort your files into separate categories. If you know how
to create, move, copy and delete folders, then you can arrange your files more
efficiently and effectively.
Here is a list of some of the common folders in which you can store your file/folder.
Documents : This folder is mainly used to store word processing
files, spreadsheets, presentations and other business-
oriented files.
Pictures : This folder is used to store all your digital pictures copied
from a camera, smartphone, or downloaded from the Internet.
Music : This folder is used to store music files, such as songs copied
from an audio CD or downloaded from the Internet.
Videos : This folder is used to store videos taken from a digital camera
or downloaded from the Internet.
Downloads : This folder is used to store the files that are downloaded
from the Internet.
CREATING A NEW FILE/FOLDER
The most common way to create a new file is by using a program. But you can also
create a file without opening any program or an application.
