To get my Friday off to a smashing start...

Yesterday, I asked a user to copy some files to a shared drive so I could upload them as part of the project from hell (which ends on Sunday, BTW...!). She sent me an e-mail yesterday not long after I had left for the day saying that she had copied 17 files, but it's taking her forever to open the file and do a "Save as..." and is there a faster way to do this because she has so many files left.

*boggle*

To which, I responded to her via e-mail the following:



Yes.

First, hit " + A" on your keyboard.) When you have selected all the files, hit " + C" this will copy them to a temporary location in your computer's memory.

Finally, once you have selected the files and copied them, click in the window on the right where the "AP" folder is open. Hit " + V" on your keyboard to paste the copied files into this location. You can do all of the files at once, or just a few at a time.

If this is confusing, please call.

Now...is it just me? I would think something like this...copying files from one location to another is fairly simple...a basic computer using function...?

I'm just glad I didn't need to explain this using DOS commands...*sigh*
