I can't move files from one folder to another!
Error message pops up saying the file is used by another user or program. It is NOT!! Anyone else has this problem? Any solutions?
I am the only user on the computer...

I have also experiencet it, I don't now why it's coming. But I have been able to get around it, by using Windows Commander (www.ghisler.com).

The files are not in use by any program that I know of. This happens even after a restart. It must be something within Windows that is using it.

But I tried this morning and found out that if i use cut and paste instead of just moving it, it works. Strange....

It's the same thing with deleting files...first time it doesn't work but sometimes it works the second time I try...

Thanx for the Commander-tip. I will try it!
