Folders, Files and Filenames



Folders, Files and Filenames 

[pic]

|[pic] |A computer file is data that has been given a name for storage. A computer file can also be a list of |

| |program instructions. A  folder or directory stores files for retrieval. |

[pic]Filename extensions are the dot and three letters at the end of the file.

These filename extensions identify both the file type --graphic, word processing document, etc. and the software application that created or can open the file.

The filename extension is a period followed by three letters. i.e. this page is named "files.htm"

Fill in the missing file extensions by clicking on the program on your desktop!

|.jpg |photo (pronounced jay peg) |
