Hi Folks,
I'm asking you guys about this because, frankly, it's the only group
of people I have to ask questions. :) I'm hoping that one of you can
suggest something based on a deeper understanding of Windows than I have.
Some weeks ago what I *thought* was a _copy_ of somebody's entire "My
Documents" folder appeared in a network share that is only used for
my Foxpro database system.
Since I have people accidentally, and apparently unknowingly,
dragging and dropping folders from where they should be to where they
shouldn't all the time here--in some cases moving enough data to
cause a Windows file copy/move dialog to appear, and stay visible for
quite some time--my assumption is that is what happened in this case.
However, there are some points in this case that are confounding:
1. The user is not a typical computer illiterate. I did not expect
him to be capable of such a mistake.
2. The folder was not just copied, it turned out to have been
_moved_, which is not do-able by drag-and-drop without some user
interaction, yes?
3. The folder was the user's official designated "My Documents"
folder, which also should not be movable without a whole lot of user
interaction, right?
The user's device is a Windows 7 Pro laptop. He moved the folder to a
share on a Windows 2012 server. The only other unusual thing about
this machine is that it's lost trust with the domain a couple of
times in the last few days. But his documents folder first appeared
on the network share weeks ago.
So if any of you would like to amuse yourself by positing suggestions
of how this could happen without the user being aware of it, please
respond here.
Thanks.
