    Basics of Files and Folders

    Basics of Files and Folders

    A file is a collection of information, such as aprogram, a set of data used by a program, or a user-

    created document.

    For example, the music youre listening to, apicture of your family, or a document that you

    created are all files.

    Each file is created by a program. A folder (directory) is a container of related files

    and subfolders.

    File Extensions

  • 7/28/2019 Worksheet 1st Grade April 2013

    107/144

    File Extensions

    A file extension is a suffix applied to the file name toindicate the file format.

    Each type of file has its own extension. A fileextension is usually three or more characters at the end

    of the computer file name. File extensions are useful for computer operating

    systems, like Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OS X,and basically tell them what kind of data file it is andwith which application it is associated.

    Although files have extensions, folders dont have anyextensions since they are directories.

    Recognizing Common Files
