File Systems and File Name Conventions
You may have dozens, hundreds, or thousands of files stored on your
computer's disks. Your operating system is responsible for managing all
of these files. In order to do so, it uses a unique name to locate each
file in much the same way that the post office assigns a unique address to
every residence.
The unique name of any file is composed of a drive letter, a directory
path, and a filename. Each of these parts of the file's name is case
insensitive; you can mix upper and lower case letters in any way you wish.
The topics below are roughly divided according to the different parts of a
file name, and cover the file system structure and naming conventions:
Drives and Volumes
File Systems
Directories and Subdirectories
File Names
File Attributes and Time Stamps
