Copying & Moving Files & Folders

posted 23 Apr 2010 03:56 by Digi50+ Admin   [ updated 26 Apr 2010 03:19 ]

There are a number of ways to copy and move folders and files

In all cases you need to tell the computer what you want to copy (or move) and where you want to put it.

 

1. Right-click, copy, paste

·        Select what you want to copy or move – file(s) or photos, or a folder

·        Right-click on the selected item(s)  -  a menu box opens

·        Click COPY to copy or CUT to move the item

·        Open where you want to copy or move the folder to

(for example My Pictures or My Documents)

 

·        Right-click in empty space in the new location

·        From the menu box select PASTE

·        Your item(s) will be copied or moved to this new location.

 

2.  Drag and Drop

If you have two windows open on your computer screen, you can DRAG files and/or folders from one window to the other.  You need to be able to see the file or folder and where you want it to go.  Like this:
 
 

Select your file and folder and use the DRAG technique (hold left-click down
whilst moving the mouse) to move it to the new location, then relase the left-click
