When you use Send TO, in a common dialog box, and point to a removable device, such as a floppy or zip drive, Windows XP displays the following message:

Windows Explorer
The Target can not handle this type of document.

When you receive this error, press OK and the file will be saved to the removablemedia device.

Microsoft is aware of this problems.
