The directory. It shows a list of files in the 'root' directory, along with the sub-directories.
A directory on a computer is a file/disk organization concept. You create directories to logically group files. You can create a hierarchy of directories to organize a large disk.
Go to the local disk (in the local disk) then Documents and Settings. It will have all the user's folders.
When you write to a CD or DVD, two things happen. First the files are copied to the disk, then the directory is written and the disk is "closed" so it can no longer be written to. With a multisession disk, you write files, but you do not "close" the disk. You can add more files to it (or delete old ones although they are not exactly removed from the disk, just from the directory). You can continue to change it (each change being a "session") until either the disk is full or you "close" it by finalizing the directory.
The Acronis Disk Director software manages the hard disk and how the software and various files and folders that are on it are located and stored. It also works constantly to maximize the speed of the hard disk.
