Cut, copy and paste
Using My Computer, find the files that you want to copy or cut.
Here are two ways that you can cut, copy and paste:
1. Select the files you want to copy.
2. Right click on a selected file.
3. Select Copy or Cut from the menu.
4. Go to the location that you want the files in.
5. Right click in the folder you have selected.

This same procedure could be done by using the shortcut keys instead of right clicking on the selected items (CTRL+C = Copy, CTRL+X = Cut, CTRL+V = Paste).
