Hark, and fashion ye a directory structure,

This doth be a machine-wrought text which may contain errors!

In this task, thou shalt create a mappestructure wherein to organise files upon the computing engine. A good mappestructure doth aid thee in keeping order amongst thy files, so that thou mayest easily find them again at a later time.

Hva er forskjellen på en fil og en mappe?
  • A folder doth a digital vessel be, which may contain files within.
    • This may, forsooth, be a folder holding pictures, as an example.
  • A file doth hold information true.
    • For instance, ‘tis a picture actual, a video, a text-document, and so forth.

Task - To Forge a Folder Structure for the School Year

Oft doth a scholar find himself beset by a multitude of documents, and ‘tis a wise course to establish order ‘ere chaos doth reign. Herewith, we shall devise a structure of folders, that thy papers may be kept with grace and ease throughout the academic year.

Mappe for hvert fag (Folder for Each Subject)

‘Tis meet that for each subject of study, a separate folder thou dost create. Thus, shouldst thou have ‘Matematikk’, ‘Norsk’, and ‘Engelsk’, then three folders shall bear those names, that each discipline may be kept distinct.

Undermapper for hver måned (Subfolders for Each Month)

Within each subject’s folder, create further folders, one for each month of the school year. Thus, ‘Januar’, ‘Februar’, and so forth, that assignments and notes may be filed according to the time of their creation.

Eksempel (Example)

Behold an example, that thou mayest understand:

  • Matematikk
    • Januar
    • Februar
    • Mars
  • Norsk
    • Januar
    • Februar
    • Mars
  • Engelsk
    • Januar
    • Februar
    • Mars

By following this plan, thou shalt find thy papers readily at hand, and thy studies shall proceed with greater swiftness and ease.

Step 1: Open File Explorer

Shouldst thou be upon Windows, double-click upon the “File Explorer” icon, thus:

Windows File Explorer

If thou art upon Mac, click upon the “Finder” app:

Finder Mac App

Herefrom mayst thou find documents, downloads, pictures, videos, music, and so forth. For this setup, we shall concern ourselves with “Documents”.

Step 2: To Create the Principal Folder “IM”

  1. Within the “Documents” folder, right-click upon a void space.
  2. Select “New” and thereafter “Folder”.
  3. Bestow upon the new folder a fitting name, ‘tis recommended “IM”.

Tip

Thou mayest bestow upon folders a new name by right-clicking, and finding the “Give New Name” button within the menu.

Step 3: Create Subfolders

After thou hast wrought a folder, thou mayest enter therein. From thence, thou canst create subfolders for more specific categories.

  1. Create a folder within the “IM” folder, named “MP” for the subjects of Media Production.
  2. Create a folder within the “IM” folder, named “IT” for the subjects of Information Technology.
    From thence, thou mayest further add folders for the themes we shall labour upon. Below, thou dost behold an example of how the folder structure may appear:

Dokumenter/
└── IM/ 
    ├── MP/ 
    └── IT/ 
        ├── HTML/ 
        └── Python/

Step 4: (Optional) Create Folders for Other Subjects

Verily, thou mayst also fashion folders within documents for other learnings, such as English or Mathematics.
