What kind of drive do you mean?

I can send any file to an external USB HDD.

What OS? What version of XYplorer? Do you get the same error in Explorer?

And if XP, which Service Pack as I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830749 but I would suspect/hope that you're up-to-date on SP's...

There was also this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328856 which says that it in fact does the copy....hummm...

Addendum: Appears another search product has/had the same issue: http://forum.voidtools.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=82
and another FM type product also ran into this: http://surf.svprogramming.net/documenta ... imitations

I run WXP SP3 with current updates - and see the same. So the first MS-reference maybe says, it *started* with SP1?

Testing shows: The file is created, if it doesn't exist - but I must use refresh to see it.
If it exists, it requests authorisation to change - and if allow it overwrites.

All in all: for me the *function* is correct - the error-msg is wrong! And MS says:
"Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article."
and:
"APPLIES TO

* Microsoft Windows XP Professional
* Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition"

Without reference to a SP.
