ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

FILESHIGH (CONFIG.SYS directive)

Okay kiddo, let me explain fileshigh for you.

Imagine you have a toy box with different sections for different types of toys – one section for balls, one section for stuffed animals, etc. Similarly, your computer has sections called "files" where it stores different types of information.

Sometimes, when you use certain programs or applications on your computer, they need to use a lot of "memory" to do their job. Memory is like your brain – it helps you remember things, like what you ate for breakfast or what your friend's phone number is.

When these programs use a lot of memory, they might need more space than your computer has reserved for them. That's where fileshigh comes in.

Fileshigh is a special instruction that your computer can follow to allocate more space for these programs to use. It's like giving your toy box some extra compartments for the big toys that don't fit in the regular sections.

By using fileshigh, your computer can make sure these programs have enough space to do their job properly without causing any problems. And that's the basics of fileshigh!
