My kid made a Powerpoint slide show for homework. I can’t find the way to send the file to a flash drive so she can take it to school. Found the command to email it but that’s not an option because we don’t have Outlook. A little help, please? Am using Windows 7. ---

Can’t you just go to File Explorer and drag and drop the file to the drive? ---

Simply save it (or a copy) using “Save as…” then choose your flash drive as the destination. Otherwise, locate your .pps file, then copy and paste to the flash drive. ---

File Explorer: easy way to get there (provided we’re talking about Window’s here): right-click on your start button: you’ll get a list that should include “Explore”. Click that and you’ll get your standard File Explorer (list of folders and files on your computer). You need to know which folder your file is in, and which drive your flash drive is, but once you get that straightened away … drag and drop is your friend. ---

A really easy way, for future reference: find the PPT file (using Windows Explorer) right-click the file name - a context menu will appear - then choose ‘Send To’ and you should see a list of drives, etc - your flash drive should be one of them. ---

Just a point of note, it’s not technically called File Explorer. It’s just called Explorer or Windows Explorer. Yeah, most people will know what you mean, but a lot of non-tech savvy people look for exact names for things, and if they don’t find it, won’t assume that a similar named thing is what they need, especially since sometimes the similarly names thing _isn’t_ what they need. Though you were certainly right about just right clicking start and selecting explore (though I generally just click on the "Computer/My Computer icon, buy hey, whatever method floats your boat. :p) ---

At least they didn’t call it File Manager, **bouv**. 🙂
