Not abel to remove a file error "file is open in INternet Explorer."

Original title: partial deletion

I have a file with a file type of PARTIAL file.

I want to delete the file but when I try to completely in the trash, a message tells me that I can not delete the file because it is open in Internet Explorer.

I tried to close IE and closing the system, but the file is always "open in Internet Explorer. This is a download, so I also tried to remove from the download list.

So I would like to know how can I close the IE file so that I can delete.

  • The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

    OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

    Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

    I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

    Common guys...
    Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

    Here are some solutions:
    Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

    Solution 1: Use CMD.
    0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
    1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    2 - go to the processes tab.
    3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
    5 type CMD, and then click OK.
    6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
    -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
    -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
    -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
    -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

    Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
    0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
    1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
    2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    3 - go to the processes tab.
    4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
    Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

    Solution 3: Do it yourself!
    If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
    Here is an example:
    MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
    This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

    I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.

  • My computer will not start, getting warning that the iertutil.dll is missing for Internet Explorer

    Anyone know how to fix this problem? I get a warning saying that the iertutil.dll file is missing for internet explore. When I start my computer, all I get is my screensaver with no office. The only way I can continue any part of my computer is to go to alt del to get to the control task manager.

    Do you mean you see a message like this:

    Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    That file should never be missed and it takes an extra effort to remove it on purpose because there are one of 3498 files who cares about Protection of file Windows (WFP).

    If explorer.exe is not running, all you will see is your screen background image.

    The file is in this folder (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    Since you can get into the Task Manager do the following:

    Since the Task Manager, click file, new task (run...) and then click Browse and navigate to this folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    If you are unable to find or do not see the dllcache folder, because your system is not configured to display hidden files and folders, simply type the path to the folder name in the "Open:" box

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Make sure the "Files of type" box is set to show all files (or you will not see any), and then click OK to display all files.

    Locate copy the iertutil.dll file backup in the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache, made a right click and copy and go back up a folder c:\windows\system32, right-click in an empty area and paste the file there.  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    If you can't find the file in the dllcache folder (should be), depending on your installation, there may be a copy of the file on your system in this folder:

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    If you find there, copy the file missing from there and paste it where it belongs

    It is possible that some malicious software or your antivirus/antimalware indeterminate quarantined (actually deleted) the right file and the backup copy of which must be in the dllcache folder.

    In this case, you can download a copy of my SkyDrive and use networks disks (on foot) to bring it to the system afflicted on a USB key or a floppy disk.

    You may be able to 'Run' iexplore.exe in the Task Manager to get on the Internet and just download it.

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, it cannot save the file with an extension (for example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called rundll32 when the name of the file should really be called rundll32.exe (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

    Since it is all very suspicious to meI would follow with this:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

    I'm not all sounds with Firefox. I have a sound with Internet Explorer

    Hi bholmes,.

    Have you looked at the article Knowledge Base, what to do if Firefox will play all of the sounds? There are many good advice on troubleshooting in there. You might have its just accidentally disabled for Firefox.

    There is also a chance it's a plugin problem. If the first article does not help, take a look at common audio problems and graphics issues.

    Favorites menu is not available in the combustion chamber, but it is available in internet explore. Its very useful to save the url.

  • Process Explorer error BES when you try to browse the files and folders; and Internet Explore AppHangB1 when you try to attach files to download in Windows 7.

    Hi everyone, auggy,

    I really hope you can help me with a problem I have on a single workstation at my office.  It is an accumulation of 32-bit Windows 7 running MS Office 2010 Standard.  It differs from other generations in our office because it is used by the head of the team of our accounts, and so it has a number of custom pieces of software that she only needs access (payroll software, etc.).

    All the basic features of the computers seem to be well, except the two following, and I would really like to help get to the bottom of it.

    (2) Internet Explorer AppHangB1 when you try to attach files to download

    I think that these two errors may actually be related, like IE (and Chrome as well by the way, this be why I think that the two issues are related) works fine, until I just any type of site where I need to download a file.  This happened in the light, as our Chief of accounts needs to download a flat file in a room online banking software.  What's going to happen (and, again, this can be repeated as needed) is: -.

    (a) you need to click on which will generally be a "Browse" button

    (b) a traditional dialog box opens, but instead which allows you to navigate to the location and select the folder you want, he immediately greys out as if the process explore is falling.

    Hi auggy, Andy,.

    Well... in a way, I am very disappointed, but we will respond to it.

    Andy, I checked and iCloud, Control Panel has not been installed on its terminal, but thank you very much for suggesting it :)

    auggi, when I got back on my colleague's PC, I thought I would test to see if the feature didn't always before considering saving data dumps etc, and it worked fine!

    I left it overnight with instructions for the lady who uses the PC to test this morning and see if it's all workers, and it is still, it seems that the fix does not immediately solve the problem of browser, but there later - maybe after a second reboot or something... very strange!

    In all case, this matter can now be considered closed, so all that remains for me to say thank you very much for your help, you are amazing :)

    All the best, very, very,.

  • PDF files does not open in Internet Explorer 9 after updating adobe 10.1.3

    I reinstalled Adobe 10.1.3 several times and I can't view, open, or save .pdf files.  I tried to use Safari and can I view and save .pdf files, but I use int Explorer. 100% of the time.  What is the solution?

    I'm in trouble here myself. I have Vista Home Edition 64-bit. The world was good until I welcomed this update to proceed. I can't go back to the old version (work) of Adobe because one of the suggestions was uninstall I did.

    I checked to make sure I was using 32-bit browser mode and no 64

    Adobe installed/Reinstalled/repaired [this facility has been a nightmare taking over several hours of troubleshooting]

    I changed the settings in Adobe as above and everything rebooted

    I can open PDF files on my hard drive.

    I can open the PDF files on the http sites

    I can't open or download PDF files on https sites more (even if I could before the upgrade)

    Of course, THE ones that I really really need since I'm paperless with the Bank, verizon, etc etc... I tried today will still sites on my IE8, XP computer work with Adobe Reader 9 and viola! no problems. They work as expected

    I chose NOT to run Chrome as it gave me problems before. I only use an IE9 browser and it is the Version 9.0.8112.16421 updated version 9.0.7 and my update of windows displays only associated them optionally available updates, which is that I have installed silverlight.

    Please advise!

    EDITING - I did a test of browser on Wells Fargo, and he said that I was on IE7. I went to uncontrolled compatibility settings the race all that (I don't think I have that turn), but it still says I'm on IE8 although I'm on IE9 and IE9 says - somehow I think that it is perhaps part of the problem. FWIW, I've had now problem downloading their PDF of 'test', but it was on the part not secure their site.

    LAST MODIFIED - don't know why this has not happened before, but maybe it was an update to IE9 - if you go to tools > Internet Options > advanced and scroll down to the bottom, there is a check box for "do not save encrypted disk files", what thought Microsoft had to be checked. However, if the file is encyrpted and the block is turned on you can see it or download it. Has worked like a charm when this block is not checked. So nothing to do with Adobe, everything to do with IE9.
