Hi all
I seem to have reached a strange situation with my pc.
I can create text files using the familiar right click/New/Text File, but the file that's created seems to be instantly locked so I cannot rename or delete or save to it.
Is there any way that I can detect which process/program is locking my text files?
Thanks in Advance
Rory

WOOH! WOOH!
You can use this utility to find which process has a hold on a file handle

You should also check your permissions on the directory. You may have permission to create files but not change them (rename or add to them).

You may also try Unlocker http://www.freewarefiles.com/programs.php?categoryid=9&subcategoryid=102&ProgramID=13477
I use it to help find why my USB drive won't unmount, but it also helps when explorer locks the file and won't give it back. -

Why would I ever fear myself? Why would anyone fear themselves?...
I don't believe that this is Channel9's first Nigerian attack, I think there has been others but they were deleted. I hope the same for this one, I wish that the 9Teamers could delete just that post rather than the whole thread but attempting to create a mechanism for easy deletion of single entry(s) plus permenant removal of the entry in the search database and safe removal off peoples RSS feeds is a hard and buggy thing to go through.
Let me test it
