Answer 1

this is what happens when you get on the net before you learn the basics of your computer.

★★ LEARN COMPUTER BASICS ★★

◙ You should have read a great book called "Windows XP For Dummies" or "Windows Vista For Dummies" (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first started. Except back then it was called "Windows 95 For Dummies". Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. You should get both of them. Each one has information the other doesn't have. You'll learn cut, copy, paste, delete, making files, drag and drop and many many more helpful tricks.

◙ Windows XP For Dummies http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Dummies-2nd-Andy-Rathbone/dp/0764573268/sr=1-1/qid=1170446429/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-6658486-7352703?ie=UTF8&s=books

◙ Windows Vista For Dummies http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Vista-Dummies-Andy-Rathbone/dp/0471754218

◙ Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. Only libraries can get an account at Firstsearch.org. So you need to go to the library to search it. When you find what you want have the librarian order it for you. Read it and then return it to them. :)

◙ Here are two more great books. One is Windows XP Headaches. It teaches you how to fix many common and uncommon computer problems you'll run into with Windows XP. The other is PCs The Missing Manual. There are hundreds of tutorials in this book from hooking up a router to sharing and IPod between two computers and the list goes on and on. Ipoders will find some helpful information here too.

◙ Smart Computing Magazine -- This is the number one magazine for Windows tips. They'll show you how to clean your registry, spyware, adware, and a zillion other tricks. There are quite literally hundreds of tips per issue. They even have an online database of tips, forums and chats. Their online version of the magazine is a lot cheaper.

Answer 2

You can't cut a weblink, you can copy it. And you can either use a right mouse click or use the Edit tab at the top of your screen. Since I'm used to doing that, that's what I use when I copy links to make it easier for people to find things I've referenced.

You first highlight whatever you want to copy, then click on Edit, then Copy, then go to wherever it is you want the item placed, then click on Edit again, then Paste. Your item is copied to another location. If you are handy with your mouse, you can do the same thing with right mouse clicks.

Does this help? I don't know any other way to tell you how to do this.

Answer 3

You are confused like a lot of other people. When you want to copy a web page you copy the link, not the page. When you view a page the link is shown at the top on the bar where you type addresses. That is what you copy. Highlight it and hit ctrl-c. Go to where you want to past the link and hit ctrl-v.

If you are trying to copy an actual link within a page right click in it and select "copy link location". Now go to where you want to past the link and hit ctrl-v.

Answer 4

Hold down these combinations of keys to replicate the actions.

CTRL+C | Copies
CTRL+X | Cuts
CTRL+V | Pastes

Note: Make sure what you want copied/cut is highlighted.

Answer 5

you can highlight and hit ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste

Answer 6

If its not working with right clicking,try using shortcuts.

Cut - ctrl + x
copy - ctrl+c
paste - ctrl +v

Answer 7

ctrl+c = copy, ctrl+x = cut, ctrl+v = paste?!
