    Default Error $0185 when copying files

    It has finally dawned on me what is happening and why.

    If your Windows Explorer, is configured to hide extensions for known file types you will get a $0185 error when dragging files from FlashScan to Windows.

    Since *.efi and *.tun are known file types (they are registered to EFILive Scan and tune respectiviely) their extensions are not displayed. EFILive_Explorer.exe is getting confused and using the displayed file name without the extension instead of the real filename with the extension. That is why it gets a "file not found" error when it tries to read the file from FlashScan.

    The short term solution is to change Windows Explorer to show file extensions and re-start EFILive_Explorer.
    Meanwhile, I will fix EFILive_Explorer to handle that situation correctly.

    To change Windows Explorer, Select the menu option:Tools->Folder Options...
    and then the [View] tab page, and uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types" checkbox. Then click [Ok].

    Note: In Windows Vista, Press the Alt key to show the Windows Explorer menu.

    Regards
    Paul

    HMM... I'm getting a $0185 tinkering with the new splashscreen features. I'll send you the tracefiles momentarily.

    Blacky's remedy fixed my drag and drop problem. No issues with splash screen downloads here.
