Directories help keep related files orga- nized on a disk in a hierarchical, “inverted tree” structure. Each disk has a “root” directory; for example, a C:\> prompt nor- mally indicates that you are at the root directory of hard-disk drive C. Additional di- rectories that branch off of the root directory are called subdirectories. Subdirectories may contain additional directories branching off of them.
