5. Open Print Preview

6. In Page Setup choose options that print your image on one page without taking up the whole page.
7.  Print the picture of your folder from Paint.
   Your name should be part of the folder name. Make sure it shows!
   

8. Experiment: Copy shortcuts
   Find a method that works in your browser to copy each of the shortcuts you just created to the web project1 folder on your Class disk.

   Can you use Copy and Paste from the Favorites or Bookmarks toolbar?

   How about the longer list of all favorites or bookmarks?

   Can you drag and drop from these locations?
   The answers are different for different browsers!

9. Remove: With the method of your choice, from inside your browser, remove one or more of the shortcuts that you created in Favorites/Bookmarks from the toolbar folder.
   

10. Save web page two ways: Save a web page of your choice to your web project1 folder with a name that includes your own first and last names with the file type Webpage, complete.

    Repeat the save using Internet Explorer for the same page with the file type Web Archive, single file (*.mht). The file name should be the same as the first except for the extension.

11. Capture image: Open an Explorer/File Explorer window to your Class disk, and capture an image of the contents of the folder you just pasted to the Class disk. You should have some new items:
    4 shortcuts and two copies of the same web page in different formats.  

    Example: Shortcuts have an arrow in the bottom left corner of the icon. This example has two copies of a Wikipedia article on computer systems. The copies have my name as part of the new file name.

    
    

12. Paste into Paint
13. Save the image as exweb1-2-files-Lastname-Firstname.png.
14. Print the new image from Paint with options that save ink.
    
15.  Clean up: If you are on a classroom or other shared computer, delete the folder(s) you created for favorites/bookmarks.
