Can't Move or Copy Pics

[Thip]

My son (in Iraq) sent me about 50 pictures from his laptop, running Vista.
I saved them all and am trying to move/copy them to a USB stick to use in a
digital photo frame. Under Properties, all the pictures have a security
notice that says "This file came from another computer and might be blocked
to help protect the computer." When I check "Unblock, " it makes no
difference--I cannot move or copy them to another location. The only thing
I can think of to do is save them all again directly to the USB stick, but
there's got to be a better way! Any ideas? I'm running XP Pro SP3.

Never mind, I got it. I'm not sure how because I did about 25 different
things, but they're all on there.
