Using folders

Just think how messy an actual desk would be if it were covered with papers containing all the information stored in your system. It would be impossible to find anything on the desk. That is why offices have filing cabinets for storing information in folders. These folders have names so that they can be put in order and found again easily.

Exactly the same should happen inside a computer. You should keep all your work inside folders with names so that you can always find it again.
