Folders

Directories
To make it possible to easily recognize its information in a computer that runs Microsoft Windows, a drive, such as those we have reviewed above, uses some units. The primary unit is called a directory. In Windows Explorer or My Computer, a directory is represented by a letter. Here are examples: When (the disc of) a drive is created, it doesn't contain directories. This is because the manufacturer doesn't decide how and on what type of computer the drive will be used. When a drive is installed on a computer, the operating system decides about the drive, creates it as a directory and assign a letter to it. You can store a document on a drive but this is not recommended.
