In the process of copying text files from a Windows XP-based computer, many of you get the error that the file you copied to your Windows 7 device was converted into a Scrap.shs file.

Why was the .doc text file converted to Scrap.shs?
Usually .doc text files are converted into Scrap.shs format when you drag and drop something from MS Word, MS Excel to Desktop or My Computer, etc. Sometimes when you only copy .doc text files from Windows XP to USB or send mail, your files will also be converted into .shs format.
