Adding contents to a folder
If you want to move items from one location to another there are 2 options. The options are:
1. Drag and drop: have the 2 locations (where the file is and where you want it) visible on your screen. Press and hold down the left mouse button and drag the file to the other location.
2. Copy and paste: this option is best if you cannot view the 2 locations on your screen at a time. Select the file(s) you want to move, right-click the item and click Copy or Cut (this can also be done by selecting an item and pressing ctrl-C or ctrl-X.) Open up the folder where you want the file to go, then right-click on a blank area and select Paste ( or press ctrl-V.)



Selecting multiple files at a time
If you want to select a group of objects in the a row, select the first file of the group you want selected, hold down the shift key and click on the last file of the group you want selected.
If you want to select a group of objects in areas not close together hold down the ctrl (Control) key and click on each file you want to select.



Tips for organizing folders
- use subfolders effectively and categorize the files you have in a folder
- don't bury your files -- put them in a place that YOU will know to look at in the future



PSP User Folders Tips
- do not place files in the PSP program's "My PSP Files" folder because it will slow down your program. Plugins are the exception. Use the file structure you installed in Baby Bees.
- create folders within the PSP Files folder on your desktop.
- create an individual folder for each lesson in the classroom folder, so you can easily find the assets and assignments for that lesson at a later date
