Copy a file, folder, or text:
Now, tap and hold both Ctrl and C together
Done!
To copy a file:
Single-Click on the file
And use the Ctrl + C combo to copy it!
It works the same way with folders - just single-click on the folder, and use the copy combo!
But what about pasting it somewhere?
Choose your location for the text, file, or folder and use the Ctrl + V combo to paste it:
A quick note about doing this!!
If you paste a file or folder in a location with a similar file name, Windows will change the name and append a -copy to avoid duplicate names:
Moving text, a file, or folder
Use the Ctrl + X combo to 'cut' a file or piece of text:
Just single-click on the file or folder you want to cut / move to another spot and use this combo to move it to another location.
This is also a way to grab a large amount of text and move it elsewhere within a Word document or Excel spreadsheet. Plus, this combo works will with Google Apps like Docs and Sheets!
Some quick notes:
You may not have the right access to copy a file or folder to a certain location. Contact the helpdesk if you need this access.
Always avoid copying directly to the C:\ drive!!
