RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, delete the My Briefcase folder that was renamed in Windows 98 from the desktop and from the SendTo folder.

To save files from the Windows 98 My Briefcase folder, follow these steps:

1. Double-click the renamed My Briefcase icon, and then press CTRL+A to select all the files.
2. On the Edit menu, click Cut or Copy.
