I was around pre-Windows and don't ever remember the word folder being used. Also I found some references to the folder system arriving with the Apple Lisa. So maybe some credence to that?


I will say that all versions of Windows (including 10) refer to it as a folder. Right click on the desktop and hit "new". You will see folder as an option but not directory.

Most people use those two words interchangeably.
