Guys, i am having serious problem with media files (only video files). When i try to rename or delete a Files or the Folders that contained media files, i get an error.
"Access Denied .... Some other program might be using this file..... bla bla bla"
Previously for this knida problem i had a freeware "Unlocker" that used to work. What "Unlocker" used to do was simply kill the process that is using the file. But in my case, now that is, the process using the files is "Explorer.exe" W.T.F...
A strange behavior, when i copy paste the same file. The copied file, I can rename it, i can delete it, i can shit on it if i want to.... but what is wrong with the original file.
Check the following list. It will give you a better idea of my situation.
- I am using Win XP SP 2
- I have got Div Player installed (latest)
- The media files are from both, my hard drive, created by many of my previous window installations. And new downloaded files. So Files ownership or Privacy is not an issue.
- I may not be able to rename\delete those files one moment, the next moment, in the next try, i might succeed.
The problem is a major F. i can't figure it out. Please F1! its getting on my nerves.
