The skills you need to copy and move files are called copying, cutting, and 
pasting.

When you copy and paste a file or folder, you place a copy of the file or folder 
on the Windows clipboard, which temporarily stores it. Then, when you decide 
what folder you want the copy to go in (the destination folder), you paste it 
there.

When you cut and paste a file or folder, you remove the file or folder from 
its original location and place the file or folder on the Windows clipboard. 
When you decide where you want the file or folder to go, you paste it there.

The clipboard stores whatever you cut or copy until you cut 
or copy again. Then the clipboard contains the new 
information only. Therefore, you can paste copies of a file 
or folder into more than one place, but as soon as you copy 
or cut a different file or folder, the original file or folder is 
deleted from the clipboard.
