Can open files, but can't save over, rename, or move them

[Guest Rich]

On my Win2K sp4 file server, i have some files that you can open, but you

can't save over them, rename them, or move them to another folder, you get

the It is being used by another person or program. I tried using Process

Explorer to see what had the file open and it couldn't find it. i disabled

backup exec remote agent, diskeeper service (had to kill it cuz it wouldn't

stop normally) and mcafee virusscan 8 related services, and none of those

freed up the files. Help!!!!

Hello rich,

 

Sometimes a reboot does.

yeah, if i reboot that frees the files up. but i tried process explorer and

unlocker and neither say that the stuck files are opened, so i'm confused.
