What is a File? Files are collections of information. In fact, almost all of the information stored in a computer is stored in a file. There are many different types of files, including operating system files, program files, and your own files. Some common file name extensions are: doc: Word or WordPad document txt: Notepad text file eml: file xls: Excel spreadsheet htm or html: HTML file (web page) ppt : PowerPoint presentation mbd: Access database

To rename a file: Locate your file (in this case, the file is located on the desktop). Right-click the file icon. Choose Rename. The filename is highlighted in blue, ready to be retyped. Type a new name and press Enter. The file is renamed.

What is a Folder? When you first start using Windows, you may only create a few files. Over time, you'll create MANY files. To keep your files organized, create folders. Windows XP uses various folders to store and manage files. To become more familiar with the structure of a Windows XP folder, let's open a folder called My Documents.
