The 5 basic rules (also called conventions) for naming files and folders:
To name the folder or files in the computer or desktop or laptop it should be a meaningful file or folder name conversation. Some operating systems even it while keeping files name as upper case and lower-case managed separately.
In case if the end-user creates a meaningless folder and filename or folder name then the purpose of creating folder and file names is defeated.
1. Naming folder or file name should be meaningful
2. Possible to have prefix or suffix day, month or year
3. No spaces are allowed
4. Possible to use delimiter words such as – extra
5. Folder or filename should be short
Some operating systems limits to 8 character limitations
