Re: Cut and Paste Problems

Check your NTFS permissions on "a file".

In XP Pro, NTFS permissions are on the Security tab of the file's properties. To see the Security tab in XP Home, you have to boot to Safe Mode.

User account permissions are different from NTFS permissions.

User account permissions determine what activities a user is allowed to do on the machine. For example: User accounts with Administrator permissions can install software, while user accounts with Limited permissions cannot.

NTFS permissions determine what kind of file and folder access a user has. For example: whether or not you can write to a folder, open a file, execute a file, etc.

NTFS permissions trump user account permissions every time. For example: As an Administrator, you can install software, but if you're not allowed to open the installer file, it ain't going to happen.

It may be that you do not possess the necessary NTFS permissions on the file you want to move.

I am using Windows XP Professional on my Laptop. I am the only one on it so I am Admin for it also.

I have found that when I cut and paste a file

1) File is showing the same size however there is nothing there or the file is empty.
2) Almost always it comes back it says I do not have Admin rights to the file and I end up deleting it.

Please let me know what is going on.

Thanks Brian
