I know what a root directory is, of course, but I am finding it

  • 0

I know what a root directory is, of course, but I am finding it very difficult to explain to people what it is. I wrote a Nintendo DS application that requires a folder to be copied to the root directory of your memory card, and I often get e-mails from people who copied it to the wrong place and don’t understand what the root directory is. I don’t think they realize that the root directory can be thought of as a directory or ‘folder’.

What is the best way to explain this to these people?

    Maybe you could tell them to put it on the memory card itself, not in any folder.
