Copying a File in the Same Directory

Hello...

I presume you're using Windows...

1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the directory so it appears in the right side of the window (directory tree on the left side).
2. On the icon of the file you want to copy, right click and hold hte button down.
3. Continue holding the right mouse button down and drag the icon to some open white space in the same directory window.
4. Release the right mouse button.
5. A pop-up menu will appear. Choose "Copy Here".
6. A copy will be made with name "Copy of XXX".
