A Folder (also called a directory) is a holding place for storing documents, programs, and other folders. F'de and document mean the same thing. They do not contain other ides or documents. For example, a letter created in Word Processing is a document and a file. The Title bar shows thd name of the program you have open.
Pa_e shows the drive and folders you went through to reach the current folder. Each level as you go down into folders is separated by a slash (from left to right in pathname). This pathname is DOS compatible. Number of items shows the number of files or folders on the drive, on the diskette, or in the folder. Total size shows the total size of all files on the diskette or in the folder expressed in bytes of memory. To determine the size, select individual file icons.
Changing the View You can view f'des and folders as a word list, with or without file details. You can also open more than one folder at the time and tile, or layer, the folder windows across the screen. To change the view of the files inside a folder, first open the folder.

Archive means that the file cannot be changed; is a DOS attribute that tracks which it can only be files have been modified since their last backup. When the file is backed up (using DOS commands on a DOS-based computer), the archive attribute is removed. If the file is modified, DOS turns the archive attribute back on.
Formatting and Copying Diskettes You can use File Manager to format diskettes; however, most diskettes come formatted when purchased. You can also copy and rename diskettes using File Manager. However, because File Manager makes an exact duplicate of the source diskette, the destination diskette must be the same size as the source diskette. Also note that, during a disk copy, File Manager writes over all files that are on the destination diskette. You must format a diskette before using it.
Renaming, Duplicating, or Deleting a File or Folder You can change a folder or file name. You can also make copies (exact in all but name) of both files and folders. When you need more room on your diskettes, you can delete files or folders that you no longer need. • To rename If you havq selected several items, you get a separate dialog box for each item.
