Windows Millennium Edition file system
All files on your computer are organized for accessibility
using a hierarchal file system.
Programs, documents, and other data are held in files.
These files can be grouped together in folders, and folders
can be grouped inside other folders for convenient
organizing. All the files and folders reside in your computer
on a storage device, such as a disk drive.
You can think of your computer storage system in terms of
office equipment. You have a file cabinet (device), that
contains folders, and each folder may contain documents.
Your office may have more than one file cabinet, just as your
computer may have more than one disk drive.
Computers can be connected together to form a network,
so that programs, documents and other data can be quickly
and easily shared between computers.
You can use the My Computer feature on the desktop to
access any file in the Windows file system.
For more information, read the Microsoft documentation
that comes with your computer.
