I've been moving a lot of avi's around lately and recently have been having
strange problems. For instance, I'll select a group of six avi's, right
click drag and select move. I watch as the progress dailog finishes to see
that two of the files are left behind. They are actually in the desired
folder as well and can be played no problem. I'll try to delete the two
stubborn ones but can't, they are locked by something. If I restart, they'll
disappear.
This has been going on for a couple of weeks and I've tried a program called
WhoLockMe. If I use this on a stubborn file it will normally show at least 2
instances of explorer.exe and if I kill the process the files will
disappear.
From this limited info can anyone tell me what's wrong with my machine and
can I get it sorted?
I'm running WinXP Pro SP2
Thanks.
