    'Could not find this item'


    Driving me crazy having to rename and move folders to do basic work in Win 7. Right-Click / copy pops up -'Item Not Found' dialog.
    Well - I just right clicked it - it IS there...

    Older posts in this forum were work-arounds.
    Is this fixed, yet?

    Many thanks from a very frustrated old guy.

    Do you have the right extentions on the items?

    It's not a questions of extensions.
    I right click a folder. There it is. Folders above and below it copy fine.
    But random folders with the same name format as the others generate 'Item Not Found.'
    My work-around is to make a new folder at the intended destination, and copy the files into it.
    (The new folder name has to be the same as the old folder name for export/import purposes.)
    I then export this data to a flash drive and take it to an XP machine to burn a CD to deliver to clients.
    Pain...

    Thanks for asking -

    More Info: I can't edit these folder names, either. I've included a view of what is in the folder in details mode - all the extensions look good to me.
