Files Information in a computer is stored in files. Each file has its own name. File Names

File names usually have two parts separated by a dot. The second part is a three-letter extension that shows the file type.

The icon to the left of the file name also indicates the file type. In this example the "doc" file type is associated with the Wordpad program.

Folders Folders contain files and other folders (called subfolders) and are used to organize files stored on the hard drive. Subfolders

Folders with a box having a plus sign (+) contain other folders. Click on the box beside the Windows folder
The subfolders are seen below the Windows folder.
