All the data on your hard drive consists of files and folders. The basic difference between the two is that files store data, while folders store files and other folders. The folders, often referred to as directories, are used to organize files on your computer. The folders themselves take up virtually no space on the hard drive. Files, on the other hand, can range from a few bytes to several gigabytes. They can be documents, programs, libraries, and other compilations of data.
what is the differences between a file and a folder
Imagine the workbook to be a physical file/folder and the worksheet is a single page within this file/folder.
In most file systems nothing, except its location in the hierarchy of folders.
One starts with a "F" and the other starts with a "D"
The "Path" is the route map that leads to the folder that contains the "Filename"
The sub folder is a folder inside the file folder. For example... The "Sample Pictures" folder is a sub folder to the "My Pictures" folder. It's pretty straight forward and simple...so hope that helps?
A folder is a container that holds files. A zipped folder is a folder or a group of files that have been compressed by a special program such as WinZip. WinZip is a paid compression program. 7zip is a free file compression program.
On a Mac right click on the file/folder and select Compress file/folder name from the menu that appears. This will create a zip file called file/folder name.zip
You cannot convert a file into a folder!
You can't turn a folder into a file. You can, however, make a folder look like a file by changing its icon (for instance, to the icon for a text document or Excel spreadsheet). You could also delete or move a folder and make a file with the same name, which might make it look like it had been turned into a file.
How do you add a program to a file folder?
A over loaded folder/file.
