XPUnderstanding the Need for Organizing Files and Folders
• Windows organizes the folders and files in a hierarchy, or file system
• Windows stores folders and important files that it needs when you turn on the computer in the root directory
• Folders stored within other folders are called subfolders

XPDeveloping Strategies for Organizing Files and Folders
• The type of disk you use to store files determines how you organize those files
• Storing files on removable media allows you to use simpler organization
• The larger the medium, the more levels of folders you should use
• My Documents folder• You should have a backup, or duplicate copy, of
important files
