1)  Remove  the  created  layer.  2)  Go  to  your  working  folder,  see  how  many  files  QGIS  

generated  for  1  layer.  3)  Double  click  to  open  the  layer  again  4)  Did  you  remember  what  is  mandatory  for  

shapefile?    5)  Remove  2  files  and  double  click  to  open  again.  6)  Try  to  apply  the  layer  with  different  projec5on  and  

see  the  effect.
