Files and Folders
Any piece of information stored in the computer is in the form of a file. A file can contain data, programs, etc. There are different types of files, e.g. sound files, movie files, and document files.
Each file has a unique icon and a name to help you identify it; this is known as its file name.

A folder is used to store a group of files. Folders can also contain other folders in it.
