How do I remove, rename, or move files or folders in another program, that I can't find?

Im running Windows 7 Ultimate edition. What should I do to solve this problem: too often, when I try to delete, rename or move a file/s or folder/s so on my desktop, documents, library, or anywhere with a typical, it should create a custom folder, I get an error message telling me that I can not remove this file or folder because it is open in another program. It drives me crazy because I don't know what the heck, or when the devil this folder doesn't exist anywhere else on my laptop. I tried to look for programs and files to determine if there are duplicate areas where the file can share with another path, but nothing. I also looked at the properties of the file/folder, but it does show me nothing relevant, even if I uncheck the read-only box. I am the only user/administrator of my laptop. I created a profile of the privileged administrator I use only, nothing else. I run a home network with 5 computers and treat various problems in the past, but this problem started recently, after I upgraded my network of Windstream modem 4220 + linksys wrt600n to Windstream wireless all-in-one router. The new router was a piece of * so I've not unhooked it and reiinstalled my original Windstream modem 4220 + linksys wrt600n devices. I had a few problems, but everything is now back to how it was. I can only think that this may have something to do with the share on the network? Correct me if I'm wrong (please), but there seems to be too many titles listed under users? It's whats listed under users: administrator, Classic .NET AppPool, default, default AppPool, (my username) and Public. In any case, please help % @#! I think I may be fubar had my network configuration after uninstallation and reinstallation of the windstream (local phone/internet provider) facilities and added a printer wireless capability (which does not). and may have caused the problem that I can't delete, rename or move files or folders in another program, that I can't find? If yes or else, HELP!

When you have the problem that happens, open the Task Manager.
Then, you can view the processes that are open and see if the program or file is open by another process. If so, then select end task.
Then return to Windows Explorer and see if you can remove the file now.

You may also be able to delete the file in Mode without failure.
To access Safe Mode:
(a) restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
(b) select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
(c) when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.

If you run a Web server, you can see the AppPool under users.

An application pool is a group of one or more URLS served by a worker process or a set of worker processes. Application pools define limits for the applications they contain, which means that all the applications that are running outside of a given application pool does not affect applications in the application pool.

Hope this has helped answer your questions.

Thank you!

  • I want to rename and move files from a shoot 5 d. I would like to use the functionality of the increment to count, but since I have to get out of each file to the following file, it starts again at 1. What is the best way to do it?

    I want to rename and move files from a shoot 5 d on a new drive. I would like to use the functionality of the increment to count, but since I have to get out of each file to the following file, it starts again at 1. What is the best way to do it?

    HI -.

    As a prelude to 2014.0, we have added a feature allowing you to choose what number to start the increment of.  Look in the section ingest Rename dialog and change your preset. When you click the button, you should see the option "Custom Auto Increment". This will allow you to choose what number to start on.  We've also added a few newspapers to try to remember where let prelude last successfully interfere the operation by using this option. So, in theory, to remember the number for you. But if it isn't (maybe you want multiple kickoff ingested at the same time) you can always manually set the number to start with.

    Check that out and let me know how it works for you.

    Kind regards

  • How to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

    I would like to move a file from one folder to another one of Lightroom 3 (do not discuss why). I searched the net but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo in the grid view and then drag and drop this file into another folder in the folder Panel (for the move), a small sign more (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo in the original folder (for the move), two copies of the file are removed. I tried pressing all kinds of keys on the imac but unable to get the move to work. Ideally, I would like to move a group of pictures but can not move even one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

    Try to select the pictures, right click on the folder target and choosing "move selected Photos to this folder.

  • How to remove a file or remains that you can't find.

    I'm trying to remove the center mouse & keyboard. I deleted the file, but cannot charge, because it tells me that it is always installed even though I can find no trace of normal means. I need to completely remove a program which I can't find. Someone has an answer.

    You should never just delete program files directly.  If you want to uninstall something, go to control panel, select uninstall a program.

    If your deletion of the file caused to break, you want to UN-delete the file it out of the trash and put it back where it belongs.  You can use the good uninstall process instead.

  • Try to remove a CD image file, get the error message "this action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.

    I am trying to remove a file from CD image (.img) of my office

    When I try to put it in the bin I get the message

    "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program close the file, and then try again"

    First, I checked the obvious things like if the .img file was mounted in a virtual drive - it isn't so I then used LockHunter to find which application is using the file so I can close by the Task Manager.

    Unfortunately LockHunter told me that the file is used by 'System' - which cannot be closed through the TM.

    Any help?

    The problem is that the program that allows you to mount the image always uses the image.  In my case I used the magical disc. Go to the start menu find the magic disk or folder folder, there should be an option to uninstall the magic disc. I tried UN-installing conrtol add and remove programs but it wouldn't let me. You can also click on computer in Start menu and see if the file you want to remove is always mounted (appears as a CD image). In this case that you can click the eject disc hit.

  • "File in use: the action cannot be completed because the folder or file is open in another program" when you rename a folder with Thumbs.db inside

    I looked at many similar responses but no nails really our problem.

    On a Windows client 7 to rename a folder that is located on a file server running SBS 2003.  When you try to rename a file that has a file "thumbs.db" in there he throws the message "file in use: the action cannot be completed because the folder or file is open in another program. and then it won't let you rename it.  This isn't a problem with other XP clients attached to the same server.  We have reduced to folders that have this file thumbs.db in through trial and error.

    It will work when you show just the icons which is unacceptable.  However, you can rename a folder that is located on the customers own local disk.

    Suggestions - we can work around it, but it of inturupting workflow and is old fashioned all simply boring.
