This article was previously published under Q187676 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to copy a file to an uncompressed folder located inside a
compressed folder, the file is copied to the parent compressed folder, not
the folder into which you want to copy the file.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, extract the uncompressed folder into which
you want to copy the file to the desktop, copy the file to this folder, and
then drag the extracted folder to the parent compressed folder.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Double-click the parent compressed folder.
- Click the folder into which you want to copy the file.
- On the File menu, click Extract, and then click Browse.
- In the Browse For Folder window, click Desktop, and then click OK.
- Click Next, and then click Finish.
- Close the parent compressed folder.
- Copy the file to the extracted folder on the desktop.
- Drag the extracted folder to the parent compressed folder.
- When you are prompted to replace the existing file, click Yes.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! 98,
version 1.0.
MORE INFORMATION
When you follow these steps, a duplicate copy of the extracted folder
remains on the desktop. To delete the duplicate folder, drag it to the
Recycle Bin.
