If you pasted onto a closed folder or disk icon, you need to open the iconвЂ™s window to see the results. If you pasted into an open window, youвЂ™ll see the icons appear there. Keyboard equivalent: Ctrl+V.Д®ither way, youвЂ™ve successfully transferred the icons. Once again, you may prefer to use the appropriate menu bar option-Edit в†’Paste. Right-click the window, folder icon, or disk icon where you want to put the icons. The Copy command also places copies of the files on the Clipboard, but doesnвЂ™t disturb the originals. (They donвЂ™t actually disappear from their original nesting place until you paste them somewhere else.) The Cut command makes the highlighted icons show up dimmed youвЂ™ve now stashed them on the invisible Windows Clipboard.

(Eventually, you may want to learn the keyboard shortcuts for these commands: Ctrl+C for Copy, Ctrl+X for Cut.)

Choose Cut or Copy from the shortcut menu.ДЄlternatively, you can choose Edit в†’Cut or Edit в†’Copy, using the menu bar at the top of the window. You can use any of the tricks described in Section 4.3. Highlight the icon or icons you want to move or copy. You can even create shortcuts for your printer or fax modem, so that you can print or fax a document just by highlighting its icon and choosing File в†’Send To в†’. By adding WinZip to this Send To menu, for example, you can drop-kick a highlighted icon onto the WinZip icon (for decompressing) just by choosing Send To в†’WinZip. You can even add shortcuts of applications (program files) to the SendTo folder. (And if you simultaneously press Shift, you move the icon to the other disk or folder.) When you highlight an icon and then choose Send To в†’Backup Zip, for example, Windows XP copies the icon to that disk. Most people create shortcuts here for folders and disks (such as your favorite backup disk). Now, when you open your own account folder, youвЂ™ll see the SendTo folder. Choose Tools в†’Folder Options, click the View tab, turn on вЂњShow hidden files and foldersвЂќ, and click OK. To make it appear, open any folder window. As a result, the SendTo folder is hidden in Windows XP. Any shortcut icon you place here shows up instantly in the Send To menus within your desktop folders and shortcut menus.ДЄlas, this folder is among those that Microsoft considers inappropriate for inspection by novices. Lurking in your My Computer в†’Local Disk (C:) в†’Documents and Settings в†’ folder is a folder called SendTo.

You can also zip up a folder (see Chapter 15) by choosing Send To в†’вЂњCompressed (zipped) Folder.вЂќД«ut the real power of the Send To command is its ability to accommodate your own favorite or frequently used folders. Then thereвЂ™s the Send To в†’Mail Recipient, which bundles the highlighted icon as an email attachment thatвЂ™s ready to send. Another useful command is Send To в†’вЂњDesktop (create shortcut),вЂќ which dumps a shortcut icon onto your desktop background.
