Duplicating Files in the Same Folder
As you know, it's a real pain to make a copy of a file by first copying it to another folder, renaming it, and then moving it back. Have you ever wished you could copy and rename a file within the same folder? Fortunately, we've discovered several tricks that you can use to make a copy of a file within the same folder.

First, you can right-click on the file you want to make a copy of and select the Copy command from the shortcut menu. Then, right-click on the folder background and select Paste from the shortcut menu. You'll then see a duplicate of the file with the words Copy of preceding the filename. At this point, you can rename the file by pressing [F2] and typing the new name.

Second, you can right-click on the file and drag it slightly to the right or left and then release it. When you do, a special shortcut menu appears and you can choose the Copy Here command. Again, you'll see a duplicate of the file with the words Copy of preceding the filename.

Third, you can duplicate the file by selecting it, pulling down the Edit menu, and choosing the Copy command. Then, pull down the Edit menu and select the Paste command.

Fourth, you can duplicate the file by using the toolbar. To do so, select the file, click the Copy button, and then click the Paste button.
