| 382108 | 2005-08-18 18:35:00 | When I re-installed Win XP I naturaly lost all my desktop icons. I have MS Flight Sim in a separate partition and no icon for it. I tried copying the run icon from within win explorer but clicking on it produces the message."Can not find xxx.dll" The only way I can start program now is to open explorer and click from there. Bit of a nuisance. I tried to install the program over the old MS Flight but it will not do it. |

| 382111 | 2005-08-18 21:55:00 | Thanks. it works. Though I fail to see what the difference is between dragging and copying is. |

| 382112 | 2005-08-19 02:49:00 | The difference is that "dragging" is a move. The file system handles a move by just changing directory entries: the file stays where it is. It can only do this inside a disk or (partition). If the destination is on another disk, the file has to be copied. | Graham L (2) | ||
