Copying and moving files and folders
Important
The clipboard stores whatever you cut or
copy until you cut or copy again. Then
the clipboard contains the new
information only. Therefore, you can
paste copies of a file or folder into more
than one place, but as soon as you copy
or cut a different file or folder, the
original file or folder is deleted from the
clipboard.
