Introduction to operating system:
Operating system is a software that enable us to communicate with the hardware. It supports

An operating system (OS) is the program that, after being initially loaded into the computer by a
boot program, manages all the other programs in a computer. ... In addition, users can interact

graphical user interface (GUI).

Introduction to Files and Folders:


Everything on a computer is stored as a file. A folder holds one or more files, and it can be
empty with just a name. The basic difference between the two is that files store data, while
folders store files and other folders. The folders, often referred to as directories, are used to
organize files on your computer. The folders themselves take up virtually no space on the hard
drive

Network Drive:
A network drive is a storage device on a local access network LAN within a
business or home. We can store files and folders in network drive and can access them from
anywhere within a local network. If the drive has enough capacity, it can also be used to back
up all the computers on the network.
Login and Password:

required in multi-user systems. In most such systems, users can choose their own usernames
and passwords. Usernames are also required to access some bulletin board and online
services.
