Unable to Copy and Paste

February 28, 2008

We have a windows 2000 server with SP4 and all the latest patches

running Citrix Metaframe XP.

The problem is rather odd, here is a scenario: I had a zip file I

wanted to extract and move to the Desktop. I created a folder named

tools. I extracted the files to a directory where I wanted to keep

them for future use. I then tried to copy the files from that folder

to the tools folder on the desktop. When I try to move the files I

get no error it just doesn't happen. I could however extract the

files from WinZip to that same folder instead of moving them there

through explorer.

Now for the odd part. I can go to another server and access the

hidden share \\computername\C$. From another computers explorer I

can

move any files I want to without any problems. I can also open a

command prompt and copy or move files with no problem. I tried

renaming the Explorer.exe to Explorer.old then extracted the

Explorer.ex_ from the 2000 Server installation CD. I then Rebooted

the server, but still have the same problems

If anyone could help with this it would be greatly appreciated.
