Problems Copying a file from Downloads folder?

.exe files in particular won't copy from my Downloads folder to another drive?

It says something like " Do you wish to Copy with missing files? "

Thanks

I have tried ' Copy & Paste ' & Drag & Drop!

Thanks

Can you try again and make a note of the exact error message.

Tried copying from Downloads folder to USB device!

I must admit that since then it copies ok?

I have been fiddling with my User - Admin account!

Would that have caused the initial problem copying?

Thanks

Ok, that issue is often when you try and copy from an NTFS formatted drive to a drive formatted in FAT32 or another incompatible format , the disk index system just doesn't have the same information as the NTFS drive.

If this IS the case and you desperately need to keep the file properties , you'd need to re-format the disk as an NTFS format drive.

Otherwise it shouldn't really affect the copied files.
