This is precisely the situation I'm trying to avoid.

Some of the guru's round here say that going into Calibres folders is a no no, that irritates me because I was a systems programmer for 40+ years and I think I know what I'm doing, however I fully appreciate why they say that, your 5mm away from creating a problem for yourself.

You still don't get it. You don't need to use the keyboard. You use the menu you get when you right click. You select copy. Then you go to the desktop and paste straight to the desktop. You don't navigate to the Desktop as are on the desktop. Then you right click and select paste. Works very well.
