The '''SHS''' file extension is primarily associated with '''Shell Scrap Object Files''' produced by [[Microsoft Windows]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138275 |title= What Is a Scrap (.shs) File? |date= Jan 2007 |publisher= Microsoft |series= Support |url-status= dead |archive-date= 2015-01-08 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150108063732/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138275 }}</ref> They are created by selecting part of a document content and then [[Drag and drop|dragging and dropping]] it outside the document program window (e.g. selecting some lines of text in a [[Microsoft Word|Word]] document, dragging and dropping them on the [[Desktop metaphor|desktop]]). The [[operating system]] will create an .shs file with the selected content, which will be useless alone, and only readable by dragging the [[Computer icon|icon]] and dropping it in a program which supports this mechanism.<br />
<br />
Versions of Windows that support SHS are Windows 95, NT 4.0, 98, ME, 2000, XP, and Server 2003. Microsoft removed this function in [[Windows Vista]],<ref>{{cite web |url= <!-- https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc194424.aspx --> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/technet-magazine/cc194424(v=msdn.10)<br />
