A computer _ 1 _ is a named collection of data that exists on a storage medium, such as a hard disk, floppy disk, CD, DVD, or tape. Every file has a name and might also have a file extension. The rules that specify valid file names are called _ 2 _. These rules do not allow you to use certain characters or _3_ words in a file name. A file _ 4 _ is usually related to a file format – the arrangement of data in a file and the coding scheme used to represent the data. A software program’s _ 5 _ file format is the default format for storing files created with that program.

A file’s location is defined by a file _ 6 _ sometimes called a “path”, which includes the storage device, folder(s), file name and extension. In Windows, storage devices are identified by a _ 7 _ letter, followed by a colon. An operating system maintains a list of files called a _ 8 _ for each storage disk, tape, CD, or DVD. The main directory of a disk is sometimes referred to as the _9 _ directory, which can be subdivided into several smaller lists called subdirectories that are depicted as _ 10 _.
