Practical No.3: Working with Files and Folders
I Practical Significance
Any data /information in a computer system is stored in the form of files. A
file is stored in a folder. For managing files & folder different management
operations can be performed such as creating folders, renaming

from one folder to another folder and deleting files and folders. This Practical
is useful for developing these necessary skills to manage files and folders to
Organize different files.
II Relevant Program Outcomes

broad-based Information Technology related problems.
Experiments and practice: Plan to perform experiments,
practices and to use the results to Solve information Technology related
problems. Engineering tools: Apply
appropriate Information Technology related techniques/ tools with an
understanding of the limitations.
Ethics: Apply ethical principles for commitment to professional ethics,
responsibilities and Norms of practice in the field of Information
Technology. Individual and team work: Function
effectively as a leader and team number in divers/ Multidisciplinary teams.
