What kind of utility is used for storage housekeeping?
For most computer users the majority of their computer time is not spent dealing directly with the OS, but instead, using applications. So the user interacts with the application, which interacts with the OS, which interacts with the hardware. However sometimes users interact directly with the OS using one of the many utilities (small programs that do a specific job) which are on the hard disk, and loaded into memory only as needed. These OS utilities allow the user to do things such as change display settings, printer settings, Internet options and so on. In Windows most of these configuration chores may be done through the Control Panel. Another type of direct interaction with the OS involves keeping files and folders in order, which is often referred to as "housekeeping".
