Copy or Move Files or Folders
Open up Windows Explorer. You can find Explorer by clicking the Start button, then choose Programs, then choose Windows Explorer.
To move a file or folder, click the file or folder you want to move. From the Edit menu, click Cut. Click on the folder where you want to put the file or folder. From the Edit menu, click Paste.
To copy a file or folder, click the file or folder you want to move. From the Edit menu, click Copy. Click on the folder where you want to put the copied file or folder. From the Edit menu, click Paste.
To select more than one file or folder to move, hold down the Ctrl key, and then click the items you want.
To use drag and drop instead of menus, find the file or folder you want to work with. (Make sure the place you want to drag the file or folder to is visible on your screen). Drag the file or folder to the destination. The result depends on the type of file and the destination you selected. For example, to print a file, drag it to the printer icon.
If you use your right mouse button to drag, a menu will appear with the available options. If you drag a file to a folder on the same disk, it will be moved. If you drag it to a folder on another disk, it will be copied. |
