By clicking on the C:\ drive icon in the prevoius image, one will be presented with a sometimes bewildering list of folders and files with not even a glimpse of My Documents - the recommended repository for all your creations. By clicking on the button at the end of this article you will see an image that may go a long way to explaing the concept of the heirarchical tree structure of your file system. You'll see that reading "down" the tree is similar to reading across a family tree. An example is the My Documents folder that is hidden deep in the structure "under" Documents & Settings. There is, of course, a good reason for this as if your PC is used by multiple people (each having their own login name), each person will have a folder under Documents & Settings and the content of those folders is normally not available to other users. By using the metaphor of a filing cabinet to represent your PC and a drawer in that cabinet is your C:\ drive, then each folder can be considered as a suspension file within the drawer. Each suspension file can contain multiple folders and each sub-folder can then be the container for files. We'll explore that concept in more depth next issue.
