As a business owner, you may find yourself using multiple email services including AOL in addition to or instead of a dedicated mail server at your company's domain. It's smart to copy your AOL email messages to the desktop computer at your home office or workplace. The copy serves as a backup in case the messages expire, become corrupted or are accidentally deleted, and also enables you to access your AOL mail even when you're offline. Use AOL's Personal Filing Cabinet feature to store, search and restore email messages on your computer while protecting your privacy, as only you can retrieve them using your AOL account information.

There are occasions when you need to copy or transfer files between your local and remote computers via remote desktop. However the copy and paste generally doesn’t work. The well-known solution is to enable drive mapping in remote desktop, so you can access your local drive from the remote computer. But it will expose your personal local drive to that computer, which can also lead to virus attack.
Actually, you can make the copy and paste function work by starting the Rdpclip utility. Rdpclip (remote desktop clipboard) is responsible for providing copy/paste functionality over a remote desktop connection, which is available in all versions of Windows. To regain the copy and paste function, you’ll need to manually restart the Rdpclip.exe utility.
How to Copy and Paste Files Across Remote Desktop?
Click Start, type mstsc in the Run box to start up a remote desktop connection dialog.
Then expand the dialog by clicking on Options, then check the Local Resources tab.
Make sure the Clipboard is checked, so the Rdpclip utility will be automatically started in your remote computer after setting up a remote desktop connection.
The next step is to launch the Rdpclip utility on your local computer. Just click Start menu, type rdpclip in the Run box, press Enter key. The program will run in the background.
Now you should be able to copy and paste files from your local computer to a remote desktop session, drag and drop files from the remote desktop machine to your local machine.
If the copy and paste function still does not work or stops working all of a sudden, you may need to kill the Rdpclip process and start it again.

To copy or move files to different folders on your hard drive in Windows 10, it’s sometimes easiest to use your mouse to drag them there. For example, here’s how to move a file to a different folder on your desktop. In this case, You’re moving the Traveler file from the House folder to the Morocco folder.
Align the two windows next to each other.
Click the first window and then hold the Windows key and press the right-arrow key. To fill the screen’s left half, click the other window, hold the Windows key, and press the left-arrow key.
Aim the mouse pointer at the file or folder you want to move.
While holding down the right mouse button, move the mouse until it points at the destination folder.
As you see in the following two images, you’re dragging the Traveler file from the House folder to the Morocco folder.
To move a file or folder from one window to another, drag it there while holding down the right mouse button. Select the Traveler file.
Moving the mouse drags the file along with it, and Windows explains that you’re moving the file. (Be sure to hold down the right mouse button the entire time.)
Always drag icons while holding down the right mouse button. Windows is then gracious enough to give you a menu of options when you position the icon, and you can choose to copy, move, or create a shortcut. If you hold down the left mouse button, Windows sometimes doesn’t know whether you want to copy or move.
Release the mouse button and choose Copy Here, Move Here, or Create Shortcuts Here from the pop-up menu.
When dragging and dropping takes too much work, Windows offers a few other ways to copy or move files. Depending on your screen’s current layout, some of the following onscreen tools may work more easily:
Right-click menus: Right-click a file or folder and choose Cut or Copy, depending on whether you want to move or copy it. Then right-click your destination folder and choose Paste. It’s simple, it always works, and you needn’t bother placing any windows side by side.
Ribbon commands: In File Explorer, click your file or folder, click the Ribbon’s Home tab at the top, and then click the Copy To (or Move To) button. A menu drops down, listing some common locations. Don’t spot the right spot? Then click Choose Location and click through the drive and folders to reach the destination folder, and Windows transports the file accordingly. Although a bit cumbersome, this method works if you know the exact location of the destination folder.
Navigation Pane: This panel along File Explorer’s left edge lists popular locations: drives, networks, OneDrive, and oft-used folders. That lets you drag and drop a file into a spot on the Navigation Pane, sparing you the hassle of opening a destination folder.
After you install a program on your computer, don’t ever move that program’s folder. Programs wedge themselves deeply into Windows. Moving the program may break it, and you’ll have to reinstall it. However, feel free to move a program’s shortcut. (Shortcut icons contain a little arrow.)
