You usually hand it to them either before or after you shake their hand when you first walk in.

Depends on the situation... As far as I am familiar with the job searching process is that you mail out your cover letter and a resume. If the employer is interested, they schedule an interview with you. Now, you do not need to bring a cover letter to the actual interview, but do bring extra copies of your resume. As soon as you get home from the interview, write a thank you letter and mail it out right the way. Some employers will call you in for a second interview, some will base their decision on the first interview.
Good Luck!!!

Usually by the time you get to the interview, they've already seen your resume and cover letter.
The interview is about the contents of those documents, and any additional questions they may have for you.
Your cover letter should explain why you want to work for this company, and why you think you're such a good fit. What makes it worth it for them to pay money to have YOU there every day?
The resume is an outline of your skills and aptitude to support the claims made in your cover letter, but neither of those documents necessarily convey your personality and charm.
Interviews are usually not as much about skills as they are about presentation, punctuality, ability to hold a pleasant and articulate conversation and think on your feet.
None of those attributes are job-specific, but they're also the hardest to learn. If you're a treasure in person, and outgoing and friendly when interviewed, employers are inclined to forgive details like missing skills.
Though ideally, you'll have most of those covered in your resume before you even get there.

Most of the time you send in your resume when applying for the job. They are suppose to review it, call you in for an interview, and might ask you questions about what you put on your resume. I usually have on hand support documents (letter or recommendations, awards, special licenses, college diplomas ) to back up what you put on your resume.

Usually, you have sent it to them before hand, and that's why they called you for an interview. If they don't already have it, give it to them right after you shake hands, as soon as you sit down, saying something like "here's a copy of my resume".

Probably before the interview.

bring a few copies and then at the beginning as you are sitting down start off with "I did bring copies of my resume for you" and hand them out :) don't bring your cover letter.
