It is important that users organize their files using Folders and Subfolders.
This makes finding documents much easier. Folders can contain files or other folders. A folder within a folder is called a subfolder. Subfolders help keep many files organized in
a hierarchical system of order.

icon Right-clicking over the files and selecting
