1 Explain cut, cpy, and paste. The Cut, Cpy, and Paste cmmands are nearly universal. These three functins are used by almst every Windws prgram and perfrm mre r less the same functin in each f them. Yu can cut, cpy, and paste prgrams, disks, and text, t name just a few things. Cut: When yu cut smething, it is deleted frm its current lcatin and saved t the Clipbard. Infrmatin saved t the Clipbard stays there until new infrmatin is either cut r cpied. Each time yu execute Cut r Cpy, yu replace the ld infrmatin n the Clipbard with whatever yu just cut r cpied. Yu can paste the same Clipbard infrmatin as ften as yu like. Cpy: Cpy is similar t Cut except the riginal item is nt deleted. When yu cpy smething, a cpy f the item is saved t the Clipbard. Infrmatin stred n the Clipbard stays there until new infrmatin is either cut r cpied. Each time yu execute Cut r Cpy, yu replace the ld infrmatin n the Clipbard with whatever yu just cut r cpied. Yu can paste Clipbard infrmatin as ften as yu like, until yu replace it with smething else. Paste: Yu can place infrmatin n the Clipbard wherever yu like. Execute the Paste cmmand and infrmatin yu have cut r cpied is placed wherever yur cursr is lcated. Clipbard: The Clipbard is the strage area fr items that have been cut r cpied. Each time yu execute Cut r Cpy, yu replace the ld infrmatin n the Clipbard with whatever yu just cut r cpied. Yu can paste Clipbard infrmatin as ften as yu like, until yu replace it with smething else. There are three majr methds f cutting, cpying, and pasting.

5 . Use the search bx in a flder r library Yu're ften likely t be lking fr a file that yu knw is in a particular flder r library, such as Dcuments r Pictures. Brwsing fr the file might mean lking thrugh hundreds f files and subflders. T save time and effrt, use the search bx at the tp f the pen windw. library The search bx in a flder r The search bx filters the current view based n text that yu type. The search lks fr text in the file name and cntents; and in the file prperties, such as in tags.
