Let’s Learn

Organising your files.
An operating system allows us to place our files into specific folders. This helps us find
our files more easily. There are special shortcut keys that we can use to do this. Here are
a few of them:

Shortcut

Ctrl+X Cut This is used for moving a file.

Ctrl+C Copy This is used for copying a file.

Ctrl+V Paste This is used for placing a file in another folder.

Let’s Practise

Moving a file.
1 Open ‘File Explorer’ and go to your
‘Documents’ folder. You will find different

types of files.
2 Create the following folders: ‘Presentations’,

‘Spreadsheets’, ‘Pictures’, and ‘Word files’.

3 Now, move the files to the proper folder
based on the file type.

4 Click on the file, press Ctrl+X and then
double-click the folder you will move the file
to and press Ctrl+V. Do this for every file.
