+<title>Copying Files and Folders</title>
+
+<p>
+A file or folder can be copied to a new location by dragging and dropping with the mouse, or you can use the copy and paste commands.  This can be useful when creating a folder containing files to email to a friend or coworker, or when backing up individual files to an external storage device.

+<steps>
+<title>Drag Files to the New Location</title>
+<item><p>Open the file browser to the folder containing the item you want to copy.</p></item>
+<item><p>Open a second file browser window by clicking <guiseq><gui>Places</gui><gui>Home Folder</gui></guiseq> in the main menubar.</p></item>
+<item><p>In the second window, navigate to the folder where you want to put the copy of the item.</p></item>
+<item><p>Back in the first window, click on the item once to select it. Hold down the <key>Ctrl</key> key, then drag the item to the new destination.</p></item>

+<title>Deleting Files and Folders</title>
+
+<p>
+If you don't want a file or folder any more, you can delete it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When you delete an item it is moved to the Trash folder, where it is stored until you empty the trash.  Items stored in the Trash folder can be restored to their original location if you decide you need them, or if they were accidentally deleted.
+</p>
+
+<steps>
+  <title>Delete a File or Folder (Move it to the Trash folder)</title>
+  <item><p>Select the item you want to delete by clicking it once.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Press the <gui>Delete</gui> key on your keyboard.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+<p>
+You can permanently delete a file, without having to send it to the Trash folder first.
+</p>

+<title>Open Files with Other Applications</title>
+
+<p>
+You can open files using an application other than the default one.  For example, Rhythmbox is the default music player, but you may want to open an audio file with another music player you have installed.  You can also change the default application for a given file type.
+</p>
+
+<steps>
+  <title>Open Files Using a Different Application</title>
+  <item><p>Right-click the file you want to open.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Select from the available "Open with" choices.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+<note>
+  <p>Selecting the <gui>Open with Other Application</gui> option will bring up a list of available applications for you to select from.  Not all applications listed will be able to work with that file type, though.</p>
+</note>
+
+<steps>
+  <title>Change a File Type's Default Application</title>
+  <p>You can change the default application for a file type.  This will allow you to open your preferred application when you double-click to open a file.</p>
+  <item><p>Select a file of the type whose default application you want to change.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Choose <guiseq><gui>File</gui><gui>Properties</gui></guiseq>.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Choose the <gui>Open With</gui> tab.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Select the application you want to make the default for your chosen file type.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+<note>
+  <p>The <gui>Add</gui> and <gui>Remove</gui> buttons allow you to add other applications to the list of options.</p>
