I have a folder that contains pictures taken from a digital cam
automatically named and created on that date...I attempted to move it into
another folder but noticed that it Error's with the following dialog:.

Error Moving File or Folder

Cannot move ZbThumbnail: It is being used by another person or program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.



I have no other programs opened...how do I get around this?


thanks
Marc.

Boot the machine into safe mode and try to move it, that should ensure that
there are no other apps using the file. If that doesnt work you can always
copy it in recovery console to where you want it to be.

Did you have an Explorer window with a preview pane or thumbnail view open
at the time?
