  1. Cannot delete, copy, cut and rename a PDF file


    Hello Team,


    I downloaded a PDF file from the Flipkart website in which comparing of laptops consist.

    After opening that file, I tried to delete that file but I couldn't perform any operation on that file.

    I used Microsoft File and Folder trouble-shooter to detect any issue with that folder, couldn't find any.


    Please help me to remove this file.


    Thanks,

    Ravikiran G

    :)

  3. Help with .bat to Copy and Rename to the same dir?

    Hi guys,

    Me and a friend is playing a prank on another friend, and this is pretty harmless, just a "friendly" reminder to him ^^

    So, basically, the title explains it mostly, but I will go into detail.

    What I need is a .bat that will create multiple .txt files in one directory. They must have some text in them.

    That or copy an existing .txt file, and rename the multiple copies.

    Like so:

    Copy multiple instances of filename.txt from C:/ to C:/folder/ and rename them so none of them gets deleted.

    Or

    Create filename.txt in C:/folder/ and make multiple copies of it, and rename them so none of them gets deleted.

    Hopefully this will make sense ^^

    Thanks in advance,
    Val

    Cannot delete, copy, cut and rename a PDF file

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
