Copy and Paste after changing file names
Hello,
I am having some problems with copying and pasting files. I was trying to copy a file and then change the name of the original file before pasting, so it wouldn't end up as myFile - Copy, but it seems that when I paste after changing the file name, windows can no longer find my file... I tried both the ctrl+c/ctrl+v method and the right click menu options but both had the same result. I get an item not found dialog box stating my items were no longer in the location they used to be and I should verify the items location and try again.
That doesn't make any sense to me because I just copied it... I assumed a temporary copy of the file would be held somewhere... you know... a copy of the original file... 'cause its a function called copy...
Anyway, is this normal? Have older version of windows done it like that and I just never noticed? Is there any way to change that behavior?
Thanks for any help you can give me on this,
-Robert
