[prodsd]

Here is my challenge . I have a [pain Vista operating system] new syatem That when I save a Adobe Illustrator file to my desktop it is ok but when I try to move or delete the file I get a error key that is open ???
I never had the problem when I had XP. When I save as a EPS file no problem
and I know not to save in the future as a AI file but to clen up the old files ??

You may have better luck finding an answer if you post this question on our Windows Forum. Good luck.

Very clever renaming before you move them. I often miss doing that.

I think what is happening is this:
When you save as an EPS file, it creates a copy of the working file, however when you save it as an AI file, it keeps the file open (in Illustrator). If you close Illustrator, you should be able to move the file to your hearts content. Another solution would be to put it where you want it in the first place!
