The SHS file extension is primarily associated with Shell Scrap Object Files produced by Microsoft Windows.[1] They are created by selecting part of a document content and then dragging and dropping it outside the document program window (e.g. selecting some lines of text in a Word document, dragging and dropping them on the desktop). The operating system will create a .shs file with the selected content, which will be useless alone, and only readable by dragging the icon and dropping it in a program which supports this mechanism.
Microsoft has since removed this function from the Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 operating systems.
