  1. Right click>"Send to" copies, but can you cut/paste instead?


    I have set up a shortcut in my right click menu to be able to Send To a certain folder. However, this seems to only copy the file, rather than cutting and pasting. The problem with copying, is that the file is still on the desktop, and then i have to manually delete it. Trying to save a step here. Can this be done?

    :)

    Cut or Copy and Paste


    Select the text you want to copy or cut with mouse, right click the selection and select either Copy or Cut. Notice that Cut is only available if the document or other source is editable; if you have no rights to edit the document (for example web pages), the Cut option is not available.

    Now go to document where you want to paste, right click and select Paste.

    Instead of right clicking and selecting option from a menu you can also use the keyboard shortcuts. CTRL + C (press and hold down CTRL key, press C, release both keys) copies the selection, CTRL + X cuts it, and CTRL + V will paste it.

    You can also select using keyboard shortcuts. Click document where you want to start marking / selecting, hold down the SHIFT key and use arrow keys to extend the selection. When ready, release the SHIFT key and use above mentioned other shortcuts to copy or cut.

    To select all, for instance all text in a document, use keyboard shortcut CTRL + A. The ESC key clears the selection.

  3. cut or copy and paste

    I use to be able to cut and paste by highlighting and right clicking. Now I can highlight but when I right click this option is no longer available. What happened to my cut, copy and paste and how can I get them back?

    Right click>"Send to" copies, but can you cut/paste instead?

    Cannot copy, cut or send to (USB) from My Documents.

    Windows 10 Home 1909.When selecting files from My Documents to tsfr to USB, using Copy & Paste or Cut & Paste or Send to (USB) nothing happens! USB stick was recognised when plugged in.These files are on a friend's old Win10 laptop and she wishes to tsfr them to her (you beaut, super fast) new laptop before disposing of the old machine. Any suggestions would be much appreciated - thanks.

  4. Getting copy, paste, etc on the right click first pulldown instead of seccond

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    Getting copy, paste, etc on the right click first pulldown instead of seccond: I hope that made sense. In the recent past, when I right clicked on a photo I was able to copy. Now I have to do an additional step to get there. Ditto for delete, paste, etc. It's definitely NOT easier for me to use. Is there a way to customize the right click to get it back...
