Let's make a copy of the text1.txt file and place it in the copies folder.
There are several ways to copy your file. First, you can right click on your text1.txt file and select "copy" from the menu. Alternatively, you can left click the text1.txt file icon to select it and then press the 'Ctrl' and 'C' keys together. Congratulations, a copy of the text1.txt file has now been placed on your computer's virtual clipboard and is ready to place somewhere else.
Now double click on your copies folder. It will be empty. Right-click anywhere inside that folder and choose "paste" to place the copy you just made into this folder. You could also use the keyboard shortcut combination 'Ctrl' and 'V' to paste it.
Note: Another common way to copy a text file is to open it with a text editor program and choose the "Save As" option from the file menu. This will allow you to save a copy of the file in a different place or under a different name.
