Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Chapter 4 File Management 161 Copying Files The ability to apply proper fi le-management techniques, such as copying and moving fi les and folders, is a critical skill for a successful computer user. Copying and moving fi les and folders are easy tasks. Many users prefer to drag and drop fi les instead of using the keyboard. 1. Insert your PRINC-OF-IT fl ash drive into the computer. 2. Launch Windows File Explorer. 3. Applying what you have learned, search the Windows folder for any fi le with the .jpg fi le extension. 4. Select any one image fi le in the fi le list by left-clicking on it once. 5. Hold down the [Ctrl] key, and click any two other image fi les to select them. Because the [Ctrl] key is held down, the fi les do not need to be sequential to the fi rst fi le. 6. Press the [Ctrl][C] key combination to copy the selected image fi les. 7. Select the PRINC-OF-IT fl ash drive in the navigation pane. 8. Applying what you have learned, create a folder on the fl ash drive named Images. 9. Select the new folder in the navigation pane. 10. Press the [Ctrl][V] key combination to paste the copied image fi les into the Images folder. 11. Applying what you have learned, search the Windows folder for any fi le with the .jpg fi le extension. 12. Click and hold any image fi le in the fi le list, drag the fi le to the Images folder on the fl ash drive, and drop the fi le. If the fi le tree for the fl ash drive is not expanded, hold the fi le over the fl ash drive icon for a couple of seconds until the tree is automatically expanded. Then, drop the fi le into the Images folder. Because this operation is across drives, not within the same drive, it is a copy operation, not a move operation. Deleting Files and Folders In order to effectively manage fi les, you need to be able to remove fi les and folders that are no longer useful. In Windows, deleting a fi le or folder is a simple process. Restoring a deleted fi le or folder is also a simple process. Deleting To delete a fi le or folder, select it and press the [Delete] key or right- click on it and click Delete in the shortcut menu. In Windows 10, you can also click Home Organize Delete. No matter which method is used, a dialog box appears asking to confi rm the deletion. Click the Yes button to delete the selected fi le or folder. Click the No button to cancel the operation. FYI FYI Select a group of fi les or folders to delete the entire group in one step. Hands-On Example 4.3.1
