The option "copy" is usually available after something is selected with the mouse. The easiest way to "cut and paste" in Windows is this: Click and hold the left button of the mouse down and drag the cursor over the material you want to select. Once you have selected it, let up on the mouse button. The material selected should be highlighted. Hold down the Ctrl key and press "C" Move your cursor to the address area of your browser and click the left button. Hold down the Ctrl key and press the letter "V" The URL should be written in the slot for you. Press Enter, and the browser should take you to that url.

It is only then that it knows there is something that _can_ be cut and the "cut" option becomes active. The same with "paste". You have to copy or cut something that has been marked before the "paste" option will become active.
