• It is very likely that you have not started the folder service. Without this, you cannot use the key combination for copying and pasting.
• Either you have inadvertently deactivated the service, it has been deactivated by a software installation, or the service has been deactivated for the "network DDE".
• Open the control panel.
• Select "Administration" and finally "Computer Management".
• In the "Computer Management" area you can go to "Network DDE Service" under "Services and Applications".
• Under "Properties", make sure that the start type for the folder is set to "automatic". Then the button function should work again.
