Something is keeping a reference open to the destination file, so trying to copy over it is failing. Go to the destination folder and rename the file (I usually change the extension to something like
FUCKYOUVISUALSTUDIO
)The bigger question is why you're pulling the page file as part of a build

Fussy, is he? Poodle?
My youngest's kindergarten costs me about 75 cents a day, and would be free if I picked him up a bit earlier.
Mutts, so no. I am just not going to board them in a sketchy shit hole.
Also, Kindergarten is not childcare. It is school. You pay the rest of the bill when you pay your property taxes. :)

Windows 10 broke moving-a-window-with-the-keyboard.
You can move a window with the keyboard. You can even move the entire title bar and part of the client area completely offscreen. But then, when you do anything else like move the mouse, Windows says "hey, it's probably bad that the window's off there, because you can't move it any more", so it moves it back onto the desktop for you.
You should put down the crack pipe--you're letting your Luddite tendencies get the best of you.

Why am I surprised? If it wasn't in 3.1 you're not interested right?

Nawt tru windowze 10 is bad is broken working functionality!
(Yeah, I would personally classify "prevented users from moving windows offscreen into unusable positions" to be a bug fix not a bug, but meh)

I just dug up a Win7 machine. Turns out on that one, if you use Win+Space and the arrow keys to move a window off the top of the display, it'll bounce as soon as the title bar disappears, then let you move it farther up--but every second or so it'll force the entire window back onscreen. Win10 will at least let you move it as far as you want off the display and not force it back until you do something other than hit an arrow key. While it's probably dumb to move a window that way, I'd say the Win10 way is actually better, because it's not fighting you.

Call it nursery, then, which my sons didn't go to but I don't remember it costing anything like that.

the whole process assumes that the student and parent are always filling out the form together.
What if there's no parent, as in the student is out living on his own with no parental support?
FAFSA is super easy then. You skip the entire section for parents.
No, no, no. No parental support != no parent.
If you have a parent, and you aren't considered independent:
https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/sites/default/files/dependency-status.png
you are required to provide information about your parent's finances to get student aid, other than an unsubsidized Stafford loan.
If your parents just want to give you the middle finger and not fill out the forms and you don't meet one of the above critera, you're hosed. It's pretty screwed up.

No. I don't. If I position a window somewhere, it's because I wanted it there. I don't need Windows to second-guess me and maximize that window. If I want it maximized, my mouse is already on the title bar. I'll double click.

@JazzyJosh This meshes with the experience some of my friends had.
I also know of at least one marriage that happened specifically to short circuit that idiocy.

Huh, WinXP (via vm) does the same thing. Let you move it as much as you want, then when you confirm, it resizes the window.
So maybe MS is only half-broken.

You're right. This isn't a MS bug. This was reported on NodeBB, so it's a NodeBB bug.

@Weng Yeah, I've got that--it's like the first hit. I've seen them for several other banks; usually all that differs is each individual bank will just show their own ID in the Immediate Origination field on the 1 record. But she claims the file is wrong, even though a bunch of other banks have no problem with it. When I hear "the columns don't line up" I wonder if she's opened it in Word or something. All attempts to get her to give me a spec--that is, to quantify what's actually wrong--have failed so far.
I'm about to dig in my heels and say I can't do anything unless she gives me a spec and tells me specifically what's wrong. I bet "columns don't line up" is something stupid like "we need the DFI Account Number on the 6 record to be zero-filled instead of space-filled" or something equally retarded.
