Error copying file or folder

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi, Phil.

If you don't get a good answer here, you might want to try one of the
File_System newsgroups:
windows.public.win2000.file_system or
windows.public.windows.file_system

Lots of gurus who hang out there handle problems like this every day.

I'm not sure where those are in the web-based interface menu of groups, but
you should be able to find them in the list.
