Default Re: OT:Sharing violation when deleting folder in W

Depends on the environment that the system is setup for. Where does the folder reside in the directory structure? And what is the name of the folder? Is the system in a Domain or Workgroup?
I think it doesn't matter what is the name of the folder or where the folder is. That sharing violation bug has happened many times and only pattern I've noticed is that very often there have been images in those folders. So perhaps it's something to do with XP's preview property.

However I found a great program, Process Explorer, which can be used to close those open file handles. No need to restart any more.
