:-?

I have saved numerous 'Maxine' cartoons in My Documents on my HP desktop (Windows XP Home)...however, when I click on the 'Maxine' folder and view the many cartoons, I then click on one to copy so I can paste it elsewhere (email or whatever), I'm unable to copy the cartoon or any of them.

In other words, I can not drag across the cartoon, highlight it and then copy it...it won't LET me do this.

As a 58 year old guy, I never said I was a 'whizball computer kinda guy' but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Somebody....please lend an old guy a hand.

LegManLegman-  Try doing it this way: Right click the cartoon and choose "Copy."  You will be presented with a dialog box in which you can "browse" for the location to which you want the cartoon copied.  Once you have located that spot simply LEFT click it to highlight and then hit "copy" button at lower right.  You can get to the same dialog box by a left click on the cartoon to highlight, and then choosing "Copy the SELECTED FILE" from the menu along the left side of the folder window.  Windows has several ways to copy, and the method you describe in your post  [drag along to highlight] really only works for text.  If you simply left click drag and drop the cartoon from one place to another, it is automatically copied not moved.  To move a file with drag and drop, use a right click and hold to drag.  When you drop it you will have to choose from Shortcut,copy, or move.  Hope this helps, good luck and please post back with your progress.
