file move or drag and drop produces inaccessable files
When I use the windows move, drag and drop or ctrl-x ctrl-v then the target
files can no longer be accessed by any apllication. The file in use error or disk full error appears depending on the application trying to access the files that have been moved. I cannot even change the attributes, remove or copy the files after the move has been executed. Can anyone help me regain these files? I'm running Win XP pro with all updates current. |

Please be more specific about which files you are trying to move and what
application made them. -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "R D Arnold" wrote in message ...

file move or drag and drop produces inaccessable files
The files that are currently "locked" were origionally produced by the News
Rover browser. But It seems that this has happened with other apps. I dissabled simple file sharing. My computertoolsfolder optionsview and unchecking the simple file sharing box and any file now that is moved seems to be OK. I got this hint through another newsgroup as microsoft help would not field my questions. I was attempting to regain control of the locked files. At this point I cannot say for sure if there is a cause and affect.
