User Accounts -Restoring Documents on server

I have several places in which I have either copied or restored documents or the MY Documents file folder contents on my computer, a desktop (HP slimline, 4 gb)which has been newly configured with WinVista Bizness as a server for backup duty in my office (should a failure occur) tho its used at my home as personal desktop.

I would like to consolidate all these folders and docs into the MY DOCUMENTS file folder, but the VistaBiz SP1 software will not let me copy onto "itself" - using Windows Explorer to copy from different folders or user accounts. I have access to the 2 user accounts involved, and can see them, but can't move/copy them with Windows Explorer.

Can someone help me with this? Thank you.

Why won't it let you copy? What happens when you try?

"the destination folder is the same as the source folder" is the message. Or a similar one.

It's probably telling you the truth. There are more then one shortcut to the My Doc folder when you look inWin Explorer.

Well, if it is not a copy issue, then I figure it must be a user access issue. How can I control that? To my knowledge, I am the admin and have access all accounts....
Therefore, I SHOULD BE ABLE to see the files - all of them - in my one file of documents - or copy remainder into my file....
comment?
