OOOHHHHHH I think I did it!! I initially copied the WHOLE My Pictures folder. It was indicating 9 minutes remaining. I didn't want to do that anymore so I clicked cancel. I tried deleting the icon that said MY PICTURES in the K thing but it's telling me that this is a system file and if I delete it my computer won't run so I stopped. It's still there.
Can I safely delete the MY PICTURES folder from the Flash Drive? Very confusing when it tells you "this is a system file, blah blah". I want to make sure I'm not deleting anything off of my hard drive.
Okay, so now Melody knows how to use a Flash Drive.
I copied Alan's Favorite Places (I had put an icon to this on my desktop) because I knew eventually I would get a flash drive.
So I also tested copying a file from the My Documents folder. I copied a banana muffin recipe.
So I now have a 4G flash drive. Don't know exactly how much 4G means but is it a lot?
And I have a lot of Microsoft Word documents. I also have a lot of wordpad documents but when I go to MY DOCUMENTS, it shows them all as W files (meaning Microsoft word right?)
What if my new computer does not have Microsoft Word? How do I transfer Word documents?
I know I can copy and paste them into Wordpad. Right? Then I just copy the whole Wordpad??
Oh, and when I clicked on the ALAN'S FAVORITE PLACES thing in my Flash Drive (I wanted to see what would happen), a whole bunch of programs came ups asking me which one I wanted to use to open this folder.
so when I do buy the new computer and I stick the flash drive into a usb port, how do I get Alan's favorite places to go to his FAVORITE PLACES??
I know you guys can do this in your sleep and when I know what I'm doing, I'll be able to do this in my sleep too but THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH FLASH DRIVES.
I don't want to accidentally delete ANYTHING.
Oh, this is so exciting I feel like I'm 20 years old.
ROFL.
