- Step1: Locate a file or folder you wish to duplicate. This may be on the
desktop, in another folder or on another drive in your computer.
- Step2: Right-click on the file, and select "Copy" from the options that
appear. Alternatively, single-click the file name and press "Ctrl" and "C"
simultaneously on your keyboard. Both of these actions will indicate to
your computer that you wish to create a duplicate of this file. Note that no
indication of the copy will be given to you on your screen. Press the keys,
and proceed to next step.

the copying is complete. Do not attempt to access the file or folder until
this window disappears.
- Step5: Right-click on the file or folder, and select "Rename" to type in a
unique file name. If copied from the desktop to the desktop, your file name
will have automatically been changed to "Copy of [old file name]". You
may keep this file name or rename it to something unique. No two file or
folder names can occur within the same location on your computer, such
as your desktop.

Renaming Icons

(Renaming an Icon the Quick Way)


- Locate the icon you wish to rename. Click once on the text. Make sure to
click the text or file name only and not the actual icon. If you do this
correctly, the text should suddenly be in highlighted. Press ↵ Enter. After
you press enter, the highlighted box should immediately change to a text
box. You can also complete this process by clicking on the text for a
second time while it is highlighted. Enter the new name. Once the text is
highlighted within the text box, delete the previous name and type in your
new file name. Click the desktop. Once you have successfully changed
the name of the desktop icon, click outside of the textbook on any clear
space to save.

this by either right-clicking or, if you do not have a two button mouse, by
pressing Control + click. This will cause a dropdown menu to appear.

text box. Enter the new name. Once the text is highlighted within the text
box, delete the previous name and type in your new file name. Click the
desktop. Once you have successfully changed the name of the desktop
icon, click outside of the textbook on any clear space to save.
Deleting Desktop Hems

(Delete from Desktop)


- Minimize all programs so you can see your desktop clearly. Determine the
types of icons you would like to delete. A desktop icon can be a shortcut
that points to a file on your hard drive or an icon that represents an actual
file, folder or program. If you delete a shortcut icon, you will not delete the
file, folder or program associated with that icon. However, if you delete an
icon that represents an actual file, you will delete that item. It is important
to determine if you want to delete shortcut icons or icons that represent
real items. You can identify a shortcut icon by looking for a small blue
arrow in the icon's lower-left corner. Right-click the icon you want to
delete. Windows displays a pop-up window that asks if you want to move
the shortcut for file to the Recycle Bin. Click "Yes" to delete the icon.

folder or program. Right-click an icon you would like to delete and click
