## Members

|   |  Member name |  Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
 |   |  Folder |  Folder or any other file system item which may have children. |
 |   |  File |  File or any other file system item which does not have any children and has a binary content. |
 
## Remarks
  
Keep in mind that "file" and "folder" terms have wider interpretation when we talk about PIDLs. For example, the *My Computer* item is not a folder in terms of file system, but it is a folder in terms of PIDL objects.
