A device driver allows the operating sys-
tem or a program to interface correctly
with a peripheral, such as a printer or net-
work card. Some device drivers—such as
network drivers—must be loaded from
the
config.sys
file (with a
device=
state-
ment) or as memory-resident programs
(usually, from the
autoexec.bat
file). Oth-
ers—such as video drivers—must load
when you start the program for which they
were designed.

Directories help keep related files orga-
nized on a disk in a hierarchical, “inverted
tree” structure. Each disk has a “root”
directory; for example, a
C:\>
prompt nor-
mally indicates that you are at the root
directory of hard-disk drive C. Additional di-
rectories that branch off of the root directory
are called
subdirectories
. Subdirectories
may contain additional directories branching
off of them.
