Well they might be in this case but not in every case. It's a mistake to
assume that directory = folder.

See for instance the "Control Panel" folder (which AFAIK is not a
directory) in the "My Computer" folder (which AFAIK isn't a directory
either). Then there's C:\RECYCLER which is a directory but not normally
a folder in its own right but a contributor to the "Recycle Bin" folder.
