Hi Lisa, When you copy a file, you are making a copy of it in a different folder. Therefore, you have two copies of that file, the original in the original folder and the new copy in the folder where it was moved. When you move a file, you are moving the file you have created to another folder and it will no longer be in the original folder. You are working with only one copy of the file. So there is a difference between moving and copying a file. Two copies of the file are used in a copy command and one copy is used in a move command.

The error message file cannot be created file already exists followed by several asterisks. What does this mean? Why did it appear? How do I make it go away? > > 2. Why does the BN let the user copy or move things? What is the difference? It is an option that is in a lot of menus like the block menu, the file mager, the email action menu. > > 3. I got the problem solved to using a different method by copying instead of moving.
