Why does the Save As command sometimes cause problems when saving files to USB sticks?
There is significant publicity around the computer room notice boards, documentation and web pages about the way to save your work from your home directory to a USB memory stick. You should use My Computer or Windows Explorer to do this (if you don’t know how to do this refer to the Explorer documentation below, or ask at the Help Desk). It’s a buglet in the network version of the Microsoft software. It works fine on a standalone PC but when it fails on the network it can really trash the file. The Help Desks have data recovery software but the file might be beyond recovery.
