Shell Scrap Object File

<p>The SHS file extension is primarily associated with Shell Scrap Object Files produced by <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a>. They are created by selecting part of a document content and then <a href="/facts/Drag_and_drop/7Xd8vXfn">dragging and dropping</a> it outside the document program window  (e.g. selecting some lines of text in a <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Word/HPSu5W4j">Word</a> document, dragging and dropping them on the <a href="/facts/Desktop_metaphor/kWQQNlxu">desktop</a>). The <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a> will create an .shs file with the selected content, which will be useless alone, and only readable by dragging the <a href="/facts/Computer_icon/habCR8KJ">icon</a> and dropping it in a program which supports this mechanism.
</p><p>Versions of Windows that support SHS are Windows 95, NT 4.0, 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Server 2003. Microsoft removed this function in <a href="/facts/Windows_Vista/IASEUCTB">Windows Vista</a>, and it is not included with Vista or after with <a href="/facts/Windows_7/tldLdbnX">Windows 7</a>, <a href="/facts/Windows_8/eRtw96T3">Windows 8</a>, and <a href="/facts/Windows_10/be9IHehJ">Windows 10</a>.
