ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Disk editor

A disk editor is like a super-cool tool that lets you see all the information that is stored on your computer's hard drive, kinda like looking at all the pictures and videos in your toy box. But instead of toys, it's all the computer stuff.

It's like having an X-ray vision to see files that you normally can't see, like the computer's system files. You can use it to make changes to the files, just like you might take apart and put back together one of your toys. But be careful not to break anything important or else your computer might not work properly!

The disk editor is also great for looking at how the software and operating system work together, kinda like how you might look at how the wheels of your toy car work with the rest of the toy to make it move. But remember, even though it's interesting to see how things work, always be careful when tinkering with your computer's files!
