Path

Glossary

Determines the location of a directory (folder) or sub-directory on a computer disk drive or diskette. Paths start at the root directory of the disk drive and end at the directory containing the desired file. For example, the path C:/CPS/Codeplugs/Radio1 shows the hierarchy or ordering of directories/sub-directories the computer must descend to reach a file located in the 'Radio1' sub-directory. 'CPS' is at the highest level in the hierarchy; therefore it is a directory, not a sub-directory. 'C:/' is the root of the path.
