how to paste clip board into a folder or desktop

I have a Mac book Air. OSX 10.6. How to paste the contents of the clip board into a folder or desktop?

Since the last update, I now have to click and then click a second time to move the cursor, how to put it back to one click?

Copy & Paste Won't Work I am having trouble copying files from one folder to another using Finder on my Mac mini. I select the files to be copied then right click and select Copy. Or I chooses Copy 8 items from the Edit menu. Then I navigate to the folder I want to copy them to and right click to select Paste. But, the Paste option is not there. I have tried this navigating within the same Finder window and also using a new Finder window. Either way the Paste option is not there. I have checked my permissions and I both Read & Write. I am the administrator. I can move them by dragging the files from one folder to another but I want to copy, not move. This should be a very simple operation but it just won't work for me. macOS 12.3.6. Mac Mini late 2014.

Try opening Text Edit, paste it into a new document, and save the document where you want it.
