Introducing Files and Folders
• What are Drives, Folders and Files?

• When accessing a drive on your computer, Windows uses a system of drive letters to
serve as logical pointers to the different physical drives you have access to. From each
drive letter it is possible to access all of your files stored on that particular physical drive.
For instance, the Hard Disk drive letter is usually ‘C’. On some computers, you will find
two hard disks, one of which will be the C drive and the other will be the D drive.

Introducing Files and Folders
• To help organize your files it is possible to create folders (also
referred to as directories) to help divide and even sub-divide the
files stored within the various logical drives available.

• A system of hierarchical folders within folders which represent


your hard disk are often referred to as the folder (directory) tree,
in the same way the very top of the file system is known as the
root folder (directory).
