ok. thanks. I was thinking about that old hard drive that I’m trying to move stuff from and I think I did delete a couple of those troublesome windows files so somewhere there probably is a trash although I haven’t found it yet. why would this dialogue about locked items come up when I’m moving a folder that has nothing to do with the trash? if I get rid of the trash will I be able to move stuff or would it be safer just to copy everything and then erase the drive afterwards? > On Feb 2, 2015, at 10:26 AM, Tim Kilburn <kilbu...@me.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > When a copy is happening, VO focus is usually on the Copy dialog.
