The computer's main memory (RAM) is physical hardware used to help the computer quickly access information that it uses a lot. That is the space in which the operating system and running programs reside. The registry is a collection of files stored on your computer's hard drive that contains information and configuration information for the operating system and other programs installed on your computer. Parts of the registry may be stored in your computer's RAM while the computer is running. In the past, Windows used a collection of .INI files wherever any programs were located to store the configuration information. Then starting with Windows 95, they consolidated it into two files, and into even more files in Windows NT and 2000. Now there are 6-7 files called "hives" which comprise the system registry.

Files A file on a computer system is any block of information being stored on the drive of that system. Files are used to hold all the information that makes a computer system function.

This also includes music, video and other application files that contain content for the user or functions for the computer itself. Folders Every computer system comes with a file system to keep all its files organized in groups. Folders serve to hold files inside them as well as other sub-folders and subsequent files. Folders help sort all the files on a system so the user (or the computer itself) can find and access files in an easier and more coherent fashion than just arranging all the files in one single directory. Many people have common folders on their computer such as a pictures folder and a music folder. Most folders can hold as much information as the computer can store on its drive and can hold any type of files. It would be possible to store photos in the music folder if the user so desired. Differences While files and folders are both stored on a computer drive, they are different items and each serves a specific purpose. While files store all the physical computer data within themselves, they are located somewhere within the directory located on the computer. These directories are also known as folders and contain all the files on the system.
