  Shapefiles VS Layers Ashapefile (.shp) is a vector data storage format for storing the location, shape, and attributes of geographic features. Stored in a set of related files and contains one feature class. A layer file (.lyr) is a file that stores the path to a source dataset and other layer properties, including symbology. Does not store the data's attributes or geometry. A layer file primarily stores the symbology for a feature and other layer properties related to what is seen when the data is viewed in a GIS application. See :Layer Packages ; Hint: Right Click on a feature data  If a layer file is sent to a user on another machine :  Nothing displayed on the map because it does not contain the source data.  User must have the layer file and the shapefile it references.
