How do I copy files located on “This PC” in Windows 10? [on hold]

For some reason a USB drive (my phone) got mounted on "This PCHTC6525LVW".



Attempts to run "DIR" function on "This PCHTC6525LVW" fail with message "The system cannot find the file specified." So this fails:



dir "This PCHTC6525LVW"


What is a copiable version of the "This PC" path?



Clicking on the address bar in File Explorer, this is what I see (no drive letter!):



enter image description here



NOTE: This is an HTC One Android phone and I am trying to copy internal storage. Drag and drop is failing on some files so I want to use XCOPY, but XCOPY won't take the path.

Of course it got mounted, how else would the host be able to access your phone. When you click on that device listed under "This PC", it should be open in the main file explorer window. I suspect you're actually seeing some drive icon > This PC > HTC6525LVW in the address bar. Try clicking on that text and you'll see the actual device directory, something like D:HTC6525LVW instead.

  • No it doesn't show a drive icon. I checked for this in explorer window. Some driver takes over which is not in the "drive letter" paradigm. I was hoping for someone familiar with this aspect of Windows to respond.

  • The little "MP3 player" is the drive icon I was referring to. Windows decides this icon based on the device plugged in. Did this on my own Win10 machine and my android phone (Pixel 2XL) and see that it indeed also does what you describe. Googling around I was able to dig up that you may need a third party application to "mount" it as a drive using the phone's MTP usb setting. You should, however, still be able to drag and drop files to/from your device. I do this all the time to back up my photos to my computer.

Origin of the phrase “under your belt”?

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 17 1 Today, I found myself discussing what students should have "under their belts" during a lecture, and I wondered to myself if there was some inappropriate undertone here that I might be unaware of. Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
