'File already in use/ open' message
Hi all, hope you can help.
I've just set up a new e-machines PC for my wife running XP Home. Whenever she opens a file the system says the file is already in use/ open by (her signon name) and that she should close the open file or choose to make a copy. By dismissing the message she can proceed with her work. I've duplicated the problem and made sure there are no files open when the message appears and, yes, she's the only user of this PC. My question is - how to eliminate the message. Thanks, Pat Stubbs (her husband)

Add a user/account and give it admin privileges. Log on to it. Delete your wife's account. reboot. create her account again.
