deleting graphics

[Sara]

I have Windows XP and I have a lot of graphics or art.
they are stored in my pictures and my documents. i have
been trying to delete them, but every time they just copy
themselves and then I'm left with dozens of the same
picture and under it says "Copy (2)of Copy 62. with each
different picture, the number on the copy changes. the
more i try to delete them, the more pictures of copies i
get. help!!!!!

thanks much,
sara

Adjust the sensitivity of your mouse. If set too high, moving the mouse
ever so slightly while still holding the Ctrl key could results in a file
copies being made.

This probably was due to the way you use the Ctrl key and your mouse when
you selected the files to delete.
Click on the first file, remove your finger from the mouse. Hold the Ctrl
key down, click on the second file. Remove your finger from your mouse,
click the third file. Etc. If you keep your finger on your mouse and you
drag the file you just clicked on while holding the Ctrl key down, XP starts
making copies of the file.

Thanks, DCC. Same thing I was trying to say but I think that you explained
it a lot clearer. :)
