                    File or Folder


                 All the data stored on your computer's hard disk consist of files and folders. Files

                 are used to store data, and folders are used to store and organise files and other
                 folders.


                 A file is a collection of data and information, stored on a storage device such as hard
                 disk, pen drive, CD/DVD. There are different types of files depending on the type

                 of information they store, like document file, Excel file, PowerPoint file, image
                 file, music file, video file, etc. and each type of file has its own specific icon. This

                 helps us to identify the type of file by just looking at the icon.

                 A folder is like a file cabinet in which you can keep your files. In other words, a

                 folder is a collection of related 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.
