Board index » Windows Vista » Cut / Paste problem..

Windows Vista36
Hello !



This may seem basic, but it's driving me crazy.



Given a folder on C:\ drive containing music files coming from another

computer. These files are split across many subfolders.



I made a select all / CUT / of all these subfolders and PASTED it in my

MUSIC folder. Everything went fine, all folders were created and files

were moved (including hidden & system : desktop.ini, Albumart, etc..)

in their new location.



The only thing is that the SOURCE folders (now all empty) are still in

their original location.



What am I missing ?



Thanks

I think you will find that when you reboot they will disappear. Not sure why

but I have had the same thing happen to me. Actually it may work if you just

log-off and back on again.

I have the same problem.



It is true with the restarting, but it is not a systemic solution of the

problem.



I would really appreciate if the system I have payed for could enable me

performing such amazing actions like cut/paste operations with folders are.

The day I will be able to do so without restarting before, I will say "WOW"

!!! :-)

Hi, Michel. You opened the source folders, cut/paste the files inside.

Right? You did not cut/paste the folders. Right?

Wrong : I *DID* cut/paste the folders.

As did I. "Cut" directories from one hard drive and pasted them to another.

It left a whole bunch of files and a lot of empty directories on the original

drive. I "took ownership" of all directories and tried again. No change.

Logged in as Administrator and no change. The very last thing I need in my

life is another project. Vista's going on the bonfire until SP2



This post applies to Vista Ultimate 32bit running MS Office Ultimate which

was just re-re-re-reinstalled on my custom workstation.



As to the "Wow", I think Microsoft forgot the bow. Bow wow.



Now back to my regularly scheduled reinstallation of XPx64 which plain ol'

just works.
