  12. What is the Purpose of Proper File and Folder Organization? It is important to keep the files on your computer organized and up-to-date. Just as with paper files, the goal of computer file management is to ensure that you can find what you’re looking for, even if you’re looking for it years after its creation.

(\ / : * ? “ < > | [ ] & $ ,) • Use underscores instead of periods or spaces. • Try to limit file names to 25 characters or less. • Include version numbers for revisions.
