"What Is Copy And Paste?"



Copy and paste is when you copy a file or folder and paste it in a different folder. When you have done this you will have the file or folder you copied in both places, the place you copied it from and the place you pasted it to. We are going to use a chat program a lot of people use called Virtual Places. Let's say someone gave you an avatar or a gesture and you want to move it to your gallery or gesture folder. First it is always best to save something to Desktop so you will know where it is and it is easy to find. We will copy this file and move it to the right folder. Now follow along and see how the process is done. If you have a file someone gave you which needs to be placed in a certain folder just follow along these guide lines but look for the folder you need instead of the one I am using as an example here.
