folder

Folder can mean different things like a file folder, computing folder or folding machine. Folders in computing are also known as directories. They are containers where groups of files and other folders can be stored in.

Modern computer systems use authorization and rights to limit access to folders and the data that they contain. This is for instance indicated by a lock icon in the Windows operating system.

Users without the proper permissions are not allowed some operations - like copying or deleting files and folders - or all operations which effectively prevent access to the folders and files completely.

You'll find bloggers talking about folders at sites like Small Corner Computer Desk and Blabstr.
