Susan is creating a database about cars and needs to save it in the shared area (S:) on the school network. It will be stored in the folder ICT which is contained in the IGCSE folder. She needs to save the file with a file name that is different from file names used by other students in the group. Write down a suitable file name for the file so that the teacher can easily find Susan’s work and identify its contents. The file name should not contain spaces. Write down the file path which Susan would use to store the file in the correct folder. Susan plans to work on her database at home.
