Definition Of A Folder

Folders are simply organization tools for file storage on your computer's hard drive or on removable media. With the graphical interface, such as Windows 98 or OS 8.5, a folder icon is used to indicate that a folder has been created. Organizing material into folders is essential. Without this, students will have a hard time navigating or finding files that they have made. Creating folders in both the PC and the Mac is as easy as clicking on a create folder button in a dialog box.

Directory is the real computer term. "Folder" is just a term that Microsoft came up with to make computers easier for non-computer people. It's a separated area for files.

A 'FOLDER' in computers is really a 'DIRECTORY.'
When Microsoft Windows 95 was introduced, it renamed 'directory' to 'folder.'
