    What exactly do you mean?

    Also, you have not yet answered David's questions...

    > Can you explain how to do that?

    Do what? Copy/move files in Windows Explorer?
    It might be better if your friend posted directly, or you went to her PC and
    tried this yourself. Otherwise, this is all a big game of "telephone". ;-)

    I can't speak for David, of course, but please note: "post in a group, read
    the reply in the group." That's how this works. Everyone can then
    help/benefit from the thread. Note also that posting your valid e-mail
    address in a newsgroup post, or in your news account settings, is a surefire
    way to get spam and SWEN and other viruses sent to you. ....see
    http://www.mailmsg.com/SPAM_munging.htm for help in the future.
