Have you got a memory stick/external hard drive?

Plug it into your old computer.

Copy your files (if you press the Ctrl button while clicking the files it will select multiple files, they will be highlighted blue)

Paste them onto the memory stick/EHD and that's it.

You normally get that message when moving gay porn files

What you want to do glenn is find the file with that name (06bf5445), right click on it, click properties, then make sure the read only button is un-ticked. Either that or delete this file / move elsewhere and try copying the folder again.

Use the search function through the start menu
or
whilst in the folder type '06' fast, should highlight the first item
or
change view type to list, then alphabetically sorted

THEN, check properties, if no change just press CTL + A to highlight the whole folder then hold CTL and click on the problem file and it will be deselected.

ETA just seen Richies post above mine Deselect that photo and try again!

I guess those files in the destination window have successfully copied?

I would say the storage medium is write-protected (assuming those files in the image have not been successfully copied already?)

If so then it's something to do with the attributes on that file.

If it's a memory stick, then check the switch isn't in the read-only position that some have.

some memory sticks are read only until you make them read / write! this is the case on some sandisk ones and plextor ones! this can be a program to run or a little switch on the side! have fun Brendan

Move everything but that file

Simple when you figure it out

Move your stuff folder by folder rather then in one big to as well to make it quicker and easier to sort out what you want and what you don't
