208953 2004-01-21 06:43:00 Hi
I recently downloaded from an email (santa.exe) to my desktop. Now I want to send it to (my documents). When I try this I get a message saying"can not d/l to this location" How can I get around this please?

208954 2004-01-21 07:03:00 Assuming that you mean you "saved as" the santa.exe program to your Desktop right click the file and choose Send To: My Documents. Note that this will probably copy the file to My Documents and if so you will need to delete the file from your Desktop. tommy (2826)
208955 2004-01-21 07:10:00 Hi Tommy
That is just what I did originally. I have just tried it again and same answer "you can not save or move item to this location, do you want to create a short cut?"
Any more thoughts?

208956 2004-01-21 07:14:00 Might be because the .exe is 'runnin'...........which means it woulnd't suprize me if it's a virus did you check for that ? drcspy (146)
208957 2004-01-21 07:14:00 What version of Windows do you have? An alternative method to try is opening Windows Explorer and dragging the file into My Documents (with the shift key held down so that it moves rather than just copies). tommy (2826)
208958 2004-01-21 07:37:00 I tried that and it works.
