File Type Microsoft Scrap File
Popularity 1 star  Rare
Category Data Files
File Description File created by Microsoft Word and Excel when a user drags and drops selected document text onto the desktop; contains a copy of the highlighted contents in its native document format; used to copy portions of a document for insertion into another document.

SHS files are special OLE object files and cannot be opened directly; they can only be dragged into another opened document; when SHS files are created, an associated icon is placed on the desktop; if this icon is deleted, the scrap file is also deleted.

SHS files apply to Word 97 and earlier editions as well as Excel 95 and earlier editions.

NOTE: SHS files typically have a hidden ".shs" file extension; be careful when opening them since they are executable and have been known to contain viruses.
