Note: You don't need the Countbnd.shp theme any longer, so you may want to uncheck it to simplify the view. Do this by simply un-checkingthe "Countbnd.shp" theme.
Step 6.Check the "mycounty.shp" theme on by Clicking on the check box in the Table of Contents.
Step 7.Click on the "Sparks.shp" theme and drag it to the top of the Table of Contents. This will overlay the "Sparks.shp" over the others.
Step 8.Select the "Mycounty.shp" theme in the
Table of Contents to make it active. Click on the Zoom to
Layer

Step 10. Right Click on the Sparks.shp layer and scroll down to Data. Select Export Data from the drop down list to the right. Browse to where you would like to save this file and give this new shapefile an original name like "myparks.shp". Add this layer directly to the map.
Note: This is the same process as Step 3.

Step 11.In the Table of Contents select " Sparks.shp" and "Countbnd.shp" From the table of contents (hold down the shift key to select both).Right Click and select Remove from the drop down menu. Your view now only contains the "Mycounty.shp" and "Myparks.shp" layers.
