9
folders have been created, and 5 of
which are devoted to specific artists and bands (
Dionne Warwick, Earth, Wind & Fire,
Hall and Oates, Heart,
and
Tower of Power
). Another folder, called
Oldies
, itself contains
folders (as indicated by the
to its left). There are also three more folders created for
non-musical purposes, and they are
File Storage, Photos,
and
RECORD,
for microphone
recordings (see page 37). Notice that along with the 9 folders in the root directory, there

avoid placing loose files in the root directory, but these were left there intentionally for
purposes of illustration. From the attached PC, new folders can be created in the

When the
Oldies
folder is opened (by clicking on the
to its left), it is shown to contain
4 folders, as seen in the figure below. These four folders help to better divide the
Oldies

folder, and because they are at a level below the
Oldies
folder, they are called
subfolders.
There is no hard and fast rule as to how folders should be organized, and, in fact, some
people do not use folders at all. Whatever your preference, bear in mind that when your

In our example, all folders, except for
Oldies
(which has the four subfolders), contain
files. For purposes of illustration, the following four figures show the files contained in the
Dionne Warwick, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Platters
, and
Tower of Power
folders.
