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.
