What are File Extensions? - The extra three letters located after the period following your file name are file
extensions. They tell both the operating system and the user what type of file it is. The operating system
is usually configured to know what default program to use to view or edit each type of file. The
following are just a few examples:
• Text Documents: .doc .txt .rtf
• Audio Files: .mid .wav .mp3
• Video Files: .mpg .avi .qt
• Graphic Picture Files: .jpg .gif .tif
• Hypertext Files: .htm .cgi .php
• Other Data Files: .pdf .xls .clp
• Configuration Files: .ini .inf .set

• Compressed File Sets: .zip .rar .tar

How do I move a file or folder?
• To move a file means that you wish to move the file from one location to the other. The file
is no longer in the original location.
• After selecting the files to be moved, right-drag them to the destination folder in the left
pane. Choose Move Here from the shortcut menu.
• Alternatively, after selecting the files, you can choose Cut from the Edit menu, then click
the destination folder in the left pane, and then choose Paste from the Edit menu.
• Remember, if you select Move Here, your original file or folder will be removed from the
source folder and moved to the destination drive or folder.
• Let’s move your new file. Go to the C: Drive, the Users folder and locate your new file.
Right-click and drag that file to your new folder. Now you will be asked if you want to copy
or move this file. Select move. Open your file from that folder. Now, close your file.
