A parameter is a command-line switch or an argument to a function. We use parameters to specify the input variables for the commands or functions we invoke. For instance, when we want to list the contents of a directory or folder, we have to pass the directory or folder path to the appropriate command so that it knows which directory or folder to process.
A directory is just an older term for a file folder, and a way to organize files. In DOS or a command line console, you would type CD and the name of the directory to change into it.
A folder is a directory. Folders can be inside other folders, and so can files...
Computers store data in a series of directories. Each directory, or folder, may contain files or other directories. If a directory is located within another directory, it is called a sub-directory (or sub-folder) of that folder.
A directory is the same as a folder. Go to Start>My Computer> go to the folder you want to make a directory in>click "New Folder" at the top of the screen (or right click and go to new>folder)>Name your folder>press enter>You just made a new folder!
To navigate using MS-DOS commands, you primarily use the cd (change directory) command to move between directories. For example, cd foldername takes you into a specified folder, while cd .. moves you up one directory level. You can view the contents of the current directory with the dir command. Additionally, using cd \ will take you back to the root directory of the current drive.
Root directory is the highest level directory and this is the directory that appears first on the screen when you start MS-DOS. Generally, 'C' Drive appears on the MS-DOS screen as root directory.
