Sounds like the message is "telling it like it is".
It appears that rather than copying the file the shortcut was copied instead.
To find the file, if you don't know where it is but can see the shortcut,
Right click the shortcut, select "Properties", locate the "Shortcut" tab and click "Find
Target"
This will open an explorer window in the directory with the file selected.
Copy the file.
