It yields the same error message you got (with the different names).
This exercise looks faulty. For it to work, it would need an added step:
2a. Drag the clipping file to the desktop.
Before step 2a, the file isn't in the MyDisk:Desktop Folder: folder. It is
in MyDisk:
Dragging it to the desktop moves it to the Desktop Folder on MyDisk.
Finder doesn't help in the Info window, by showing both locations as
MyDisk: .
