Document Summary
Helps to improve efficiency helpful on computers also. File: is a named collection of information that is recorded on some kind of storage device. Document: is a type of file that has been created by a particular software application and can be manipulated by that application can be a document file hierarchies and paths: a file. Windows xp: extensions are hidden by default cause confusion: to see extensions: There, you can turn off hide extensions for known file types. If no extension, icons can help to decipher type of document. File names do not help with organization. Can be organized into a hierarchy through use of folders: folders may contain more folders and files etc, they have names but do not have extensions in their names, also called directories. Biggest file-organizing mistake: saving all files inside one folder without further organization, better approach: think of it as filing cabinet.
