Hi Dan, How can' you tell the two extra files are in the clipboard? When you select files in Windows Explorer, Windows puts file "objects" into the clipboard, and I know of no way (without some software coding on your part) to extract the list of file names associated with those objects.

When I select files from a different location, I find the other two files still showing up in the group of files selection if I do a select all. How can I finally remove these files out of the clipboard. I thought each time you put something inthe clipboard, the old is gone. Thanks for any help. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
