Re: cannot open jpg file
Check the file properties to see if it is Read only.

Re: cannot open jpg file
Don, Thanks for the reply. No, it is not "read only." When I right click it, the context menu does not offer "properties." When I go to file/properties, the properties window is completely empty (although the file name is shown in the title bar of that window). Clem.

Re: cannot open jpg file
Dear --, Thanks for your reply. After understanding the problem, I simply copied the folder containing the file in question to a directory closer to the root directory. Then I renamed the file with a shorter name and copied the folder back to the original directory location -- no more problems. Clem.
