XP cloning files

[Guest]

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

I attempted to replace some VBA reference files on a client's computer with
files from my own. On three of these files, after I had renamed the
original file on the clients computer, then tried to paste the replacement
file in, I got a message that said the file already exists...did I want to
replace it. I cancelled and checked, and sure enough, there was the file I
had renamed and a file with the original name (and same properties).

Is this normal behaviour?
