Can you explain it to me in non geeky? Thanks Smilie
Sure. A root directory is still just a directory. What makes a root directory special isn't what it is but where it is.

In this context, the root folder is the folder your webserver will be looking for filename.php in when when someone goes to http://mywebpage.com/filename.php
