   • Called 'Folders' on Windows

2. When a disc is formatted, it has a root directory

   • E.g. When we save work to the C:\ drive
     • We are saving it to the root directory of drive C
   • Directories can be created inside of these root directories
     • E.g. you could create a directory called docs inside the root directory
       • To save work in this you would save it in C:\docs

3. Subdirectory - A directory created inside another directory

   • You can have subdirectories of subdirectories
     • building a hierarchicalstructure of directories on the disc.
   • The Internet also uses a hierarchical structure of directories on the discs of its servers
     • E.g. www.myserver.co.uk/members/buster/index.htm
       • refers to a file called index.htm which is stored in the directory buster
         • This is a subdirectory of the directory members stored on the server www.myserver.co.uk
