A .shs file is a Windows scrap object - details below:

SUMMARY

   A scrap is a file that is created when you drag part of a document
to the desktop.


   MORE INFORMATION

   In Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, you can drag and drop
selected document text, drawing objects, and graphics
   to the Windows desktop. A desktop icon is created for the scrap
file, along with a file located in the
   Windows\Desktop subfolder with an .shs extension. This file is a
native program document that contains the
   information that was selected and dragged onto the Windows desktop.
If you select and delete the desktop icon, the
   corresponding .shs file is also deleted. You can select and drag a
scrap file on the desktop into another document.

   NOTE: The scrap file is a special OLE object and is not a readable
file. You cannot open an .shs file nor can you
   insert it into another document (for example, you cannot insert an
.shs file by using the File command on the Insert
   menu in Word). To place a scrap into a document or workbook, you
must drag it to the document. However; you can
   rename the scrap object or move it from one directory to another
just as you can rename or move an ordinary file.

   The Word for Windows scrap file document contains margin settings of
0 (zero) inches. When you drag the scrap
   document into another Word document, the scrap file conforms to the
page setup of the existing Word document;
   thus, only the contents of the scrap file are transferred into the
Word document.

   Putting Part of a Document on the Desktop

   To put part of a document on the desktop, follow these steps:

      1.Make sure that Word is not maximized (click the middle button
in the upper-right corner).

      2.In the document, select the text or graphic that you want to
copy.

      3.Drag it to the desktop. A scrap is created. You can now drag
this scrap to other documents or programs.

   NOTE: You can use this feature only if your program supports
drag-and-drop functions for OLE.


Hope that helps!
