Windows 10: What does "keep the files" mean in the reset computer tab?

Hello, I am planning to reset my Windows computer. What does the "keep the files" option mean? Does it keep files that are under my C:\ drive or desktop?

• Start Internet Explorer.
• Click Tools, and then click Internet options.
• Click the Advanced tab.
• Click the Reset button.
