What is tree? We always run it through run command
A tree is one of the ways to illustrate the organization of folders on a drive . In this view all folders branch off from the different drive. If a folder contains other folders , those folders are shown as a second branch from the first .
When using a tree , one can expand and collapse the entire tree or any branch. This allows a user to alternate between a summary of the drive’s contents and details of each file. On Windows the plus sign indicates that a branch has been collapsed and it contains hidden folder which are not usually shown by us. The minus sign indicates that the branch has been expanded.
Paths:
A user has to follow a Path to get files stored in folders on a disk. I should give a simple example that will make you a lot easier , If a file named David.doc is in a folder named Letters on drive C , The path to that folder is C:\Letters\David.doc . If a David.doc is in a folder named Member , The path is C:\Member\David.doc the drive specification in the path is C: and the folder’s name is separated from it by a backslash ( \ ).
Path to a file in a folder:
The backslash is also used when a user has folders within folders . If the Letters folder contained a folder named Vendors , the path to it would then be C:\Letters|Vendors\David.doc.
Path to a file in a subfolder :
In most cases a user does not need to type paths. Most new programs and operating systems let user a mouse to open folders to find a file.
