Why can't I copy office "owner files" from XP but can from Win7 RC
Hi all,
Using the same account/password from different computers I noticed that I can't copy office "owner files" (starting with ~$ as explained here : When a previously saved file is opened for editing, for printing, or for review, Word creates a temporary file that has a .doc file name extension. This file name extension begins with a tilde (~) that is followed by a dollar sign ($) that is followed by the remainder of the original file name. This temporary file holds the logon name of person who opens the file. This temporary file is called the "owner file." ) from Windows XP computers but can do it frmo Windows 7 RC computers. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks ! |

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks ! Functions for the WinXP OS were fixed (no additions permitted) in year 2000 more or less, while functions for Win7 were fixed in 2007 or 2008. Probably few Word users wanted this function before 2000, so MS did not think of it, but many since 2000, so MS resolved to add this capacity to the new OS. This behavior appears normal. (But it is also normal that users discover how to do things the proprietor of the OS believes impossible.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
