<para>There is a bug in the Explorer Shell which can result in the Shell responding to a
Ctrl-V (Paste) operation with an out of space error. The bug is that the Shell
queries the root directory of the UNC Path or Drive Letter for free space instead of
the path in which the Paste is being performed. To work around the bug, select a
directory in another volume under the same root and then return to the target
directory before initiating the Paste. Performing the Paste using the Context Menu
instead of Ctrl-V will avoid triggering the bug.</para>
