Re: Cannot copy files in use?

 

Whatever that nonsense means.

 

You still haven't figured it out yet, figured it out yet? And James was so

sure that what you wanted was the answer to why what you started out to do

won't work. I knew better, because if you wanted the answer, it would take

you about , well, I'll be generous and give you an hour. I finally decided

to Google it, just to see how easy it was to find the answer. Took five

minutes of reading to find a couple of decent explanations.
