Are files the same as folders? What is the difference between a folder and a file? Thank you

It's not the same! Files can be straightforward applications.

Folders can be empty, i.e. they don't contain any files.

The relationship between a folder and a file is an containment relationship, or a subset relationship.

Files exist in folders.

A folder is like a folder for managing files, it doesn't take up storage space, it just plays the role of managing files. Whereas, a file is a file left on a computer by a specific program. Here's a quick example:

Know the folder we use to put files, the folder is the folder, which is used to classify different types of files, and the files are the specific contents in them.

I think you should first create a new folder in the shortcut to create a calculator for this problem.

o(∩_o...This question is really a bit of a mess!

Yes, folders are like wallets, and files are like money in wallets, of course, your money can be left out of the wallet, just like your files can be put in your pocket instead of folders!

You should get the idea, right?

After opening Explorer and setting the viewing method you want, click on the Tools menu, Folder Options, View Page, and click the "Apply to All Folders" button.

Money is a file, wallet is a folder. The first floor is very clear! Simple and easy to understand!

A folder (English floder) refers to a folder specially used to hold documents, which is used to hold full-page documents and materials, and the main purpose is to better preserve documents. Computer folders are used to help people manage computer files, each folder corresponds to a piece of disk space, it provides an address to the corresponding space, it does not have an extension, and it is not identified by an extension like a file.

A file is a unit defined in our computer for the purpose of achieving a certain function, or part of a piece of software.

A folder is a place where you can put your files.

Just like when we buy something, the thing is a document, and the bag containing the thing is the folder.

Files and folders.

1. The attributes are different.

A file has a specific content or purpose, and can be a text document, a program, software, and so on. Generally speaking, there will be a lot of files in the computer, and the files are an ordered sequence of a set of related information items with a complete logical meaning with a symbolic name.

Folders are used to place these files, for example, ** are all placed in one folder, games are placed in one folder, p map software is placed in one folder, folders are used for classification, users can know more clearly what is in**.

2. The functions are different.

Files have specific content or purpose, usually computers have a variety of files with different functions, there are executable files, data files, class or library files, text files, image files, and so on.

Folders are used to help people manage computer files, each folder corresponds to a piece of disk space, it provides an address to the corresponding space, it does not have an extension, and it is not like the format of the file is identified by an extension.
