Hi George,
No, it's the bug or something, I have experienced it with xpp and w2k. And I
guess that someone might have have more info of this nuisance.
As told, in a classic view, sometimes explorer still keeps files open after
I have closed that application I used to access these.
It may be that after writing folder of different (totally passive, whatever
files, far from system folders, with short or normal path length) files with
Nero to CDR and closing Nero the folder may be still left open, so that I
can't delete 1) the folder or 2) the content of the folder. Another
application which has revealed the same problem is Ulead Photo Explorer.
After viewing my photos, I can't delete these until rebooting. And that
ins't a rule but just happens sometimes on different computers and rather
often.
Certainly it's still caused by op system, as it may occur after just copying
files from CD to HDD, that I can't delete these files until rebooting, as
system keeps these open.
I have always checked with task manager, that all named processes have been
really stopped and that there really isn't any other known way but to
remeber after next reboot to go and delete these files.
Photo explorer and Nero are appliactions most likely to reveal this
behaviour of Windows Xp or W2k as these are used these for file handling.
But still these use calls to underlying op system which is most likely to
then rather often fails to release these later.
