OK, I'm probably confused as the next guy but maybe we have some difficulties here in explaining or describing normal Windows tasks. First of all, unless I fell asleep a few years ago, Windows Explorer does not have the capability of creating or copying a list of files from a particular folder. I believe what Mary Jo may actually be attempting is to "copy the files" which is not the same as "copy a list of the files". In other words, just highlighting some file names, selecting COPY, and then trying to PASTE what you think is a list onto a message here, will usually result in an ATTACHMENT to the message.
Note to Mary Jo: If you click twice slowly on one file name, and then select COPY, and then PASTE it into a message here, you will see the actual file name as text in the message. But note that you can do this to only one file name at a time. There are 3rd party programs that may add such a file list function to Explorer but that is beyond the scope of the LUG. One additional item to consider. Is it possible the somehow Mary Jo has set file type .LOG to have a HIDDEN attribute? Maybe she can do a system search and set one of the parameters to INCLUDE HIDDEN FILES. Just a thought.

It isn't there as a stand-alone, and it isn't there in the BACKUP folder. However, when, in Windows Explorer, I open the BACKUP folder, and copy the list of files to paste here, instead they get pasted as attachments, not as a text list in this message. I have Install.001 to .007, XceedZip.001 and .dll, Comdlg32.ocx, and suddenly there appears as an attachment with the others, C:\Legacy\BACKUP\Install.log. In Windows Explorer's Legacy\BACKUP\ list of files, however, the Install.log does not appear. I have done a fresh, entire Legacy download a number of times in all this trouble, have installed same, but nothing changes. I cannot uninstall any Legacy, as Install.log is not found by the uninstaller. I've reinstalled the full Legacy from a fresh download several times, but doesn't make any difference, I've still got the trouble. Ok, have downloaded a fresh full copy of Legacy, build 1 Sep 2009, and installed it. There is still no INSTALL.LOG file. This time, however, customizations have maintained during closing files, opening files, exiting, cold boot, warm boot, split view. However, now my drag and drop function isn't working the way I thought it would. I will ask that question in the next email.
