On your own hard disk, you can create a subdirectory structure

that is more complex than this one. Or you may prefer to keep

things simple. Organize your disk to suit your own needs; you

can modify the structure as your needs change.

When creating subdirectories, note the following points:

Any directory can have any number of subdirectories

(except the root directory, which is limited in the number

of files and subdirectories).

You name subdirectories in the same way as files. The name

can include as many as eight characters (letters or

numbers), and you can add an optional extension consisting

of up to three characters.

The root directory does not have a name; it is identified by

a backslash ( \ ).

MS-DOS always recognizes one directory as the current, or

default, directory, 

just 

as it always recognizes one drive as being

the current, or default, drive. The current directory is the

directory in which MS-DOS performs your commands, unless

you tell it otherwise. If you want to run a program or access a

data file that is not stored in the current directory, you can

change directories (making a different directory the current

directory) or include a pathname in your command.

Six basic directory operations are described on the following
