  original title: locked files.

  I use a free AVG antivirus to analyze my laptop and always, he reports many locked files that cannot be verified. Most of them have the sign $ in front of their name, but I can't find them easily when I search for later, but they are mostly ordinary files that have been recently opened and closed. What are the locked files and can they be removed?

  Hello Omowright,

  Thank you for posting.  This seems to be files that have been quarantined by moy.  This happens usually when your antivirus detects infected files and moves them to a waiting area where they can do no harm to your computer.  For more details on quarantine, I would say that you see the antivirus support site.

  Please let me know if this helps you. Zack

• PC crashed during 6 start Lightroom. Now open habit. Can not find the lock file

  Hello.

  My PC stops inexplicably while Lightroom 6 began and then just rebooted. (Windows 7 i7 PC)

  Now Lightroom does not start and a "Catalog Adobe" said dialog box could not be opened because another application has already opened it.

  A quick search on the internet said the locking file must delete, but I'm not. An Adobe help page shows me:[username]\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat.lock C:\Users\

  First of all, I'm on LR6 and my start up programs are on a small SSD. So if I navigate on this hard drive, then program file Adobe\Adobe Lightroom I see many files, then a may list files. None gives me a clue to what is a lock file or look like lrcat.lock.

  I'm not very savy on a PC and would be grateful of urgent assistance. I tried to uninstall the program and then reinstall, but in vain.

  Thank you very much.

  Hi andys62004617,

  lock file is located in the exact location as well as your catalog.

  Search under Pictures\Lightroom\ Catalog.lock of Lightroom and delete (do not remove the .lrcat files because it's your main catalog)

• Lock files and folders to be modified

  I am running Windows Vista SP2 and at one point of the upgrade to 7 or 8 soon.

  I just ripped all my music into files FLAC and drag them to a folder (not music) to my user account.  I use a few programs of music to listen to and do some batch conversion.  I know that some of these programs (iTunes) sometimes makes changes because it "thinks he knows better."  :)
  Is there a way I can lock the folder so that nothing in it can be edited or deleted?
  I backed everything up, but I prefer to make sure entire music library is read only in the case where I saw something.
  Thank you!

  Hi Pedro,

  Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

  If I understand correctly, you want a way to lock files so that it can not be altered in any way.

  There is no locking mechanism specific for records however if you configure your user account to control what users can or cannot do.

  Go through the steps in the article and see if it helps.

  Here is another article on the use of user account control.

  Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

• InDesign Lock files appear before opening file

  At least it's the only thing I can think of what is happening. After update InDesign CC 2014 I only worked on a single file. The file is located on the documents of my supervisor, so I go from there. Lately when I try to open the locking file file appears before the file is actually opened, and then InDesign tells me that the file is in use. It is the only file that has this problem, all of the InDesign files on his documents. He became quite disruptive, being the only solution we found to him close his current projects and restart the computer, then I restart my computer and everything is going well. Mid-afternoon if I closed the file we do the same thing. InDesign also ran a bit on the lazy side. Has anyone else had this problem and found a workaround or someone has possible ideas about what is happening. Yet once, I don't think that it's the network because it is the only file that is having this problem, and he started only since the last update. Thank you!

• Unidentified locked file prevents PS CS6 to open

  Photoshop CS6 (64-bit / Windows 7) installed and running perfectly. During subsequent runs, I get the Windows message "cannot open a file because the file is locked, you have not permissions to access nevessary or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in Windows Explorer to unlock the file. "The message does not specify what file is locked or by whom. I run as administrator, and it is the first program that I run - only system programs should run in the background. Tried to PCMag TaskPower, which supposedly provides a list of all locked files and allows you to force a release, but could not possible just guilty ID.

  Retirement of the frightener

  Last updated. Just Live Chat with the final answer:

  There is a corrupted file that is installed with the product. Find, delete it and PS CS6 it will rebuild properly. Here's how:

  1. click the Start button, type %appdata%\microsoft\windows\sendto, and then press ENTER. This will take you to the roaming folder.

  2. open the Adobe folder. You will see a folder called Adobe Photoshop CS6.

  3. delete the folder Adobe Photoshop CS6.

  4 PS CS6 should start now. It will rebuild the Adobe Photoshop CS6 file correctly.

  It worked for me.

• Catalog does - lrcat.lock file?

  Hello.  It seems that lightroom is maybe damaged.  I have really no idea - please help!  This morning, I was working in LR.  everything was fine.  I shut down the computer I normally and I'll be back from an empty LR.  When I open it, I backed up, but then no catalogue appeared.  nothing.  When I tried to open these, as well as several back ups, nothing is displayed.  most of the menu options are gray light, which means that you are unable to access them (for example, file import, open recently, catalogs are gray clear, I don't see yet "about adobe ps lr").  What is c?  When I try to open a file, nothing.

  I also noticed a file that appears when I try to open a backup.  It's the same name ends w / lrcat.lock

  Help, please!

• What is an xml file and how to find a missing one?

  What is an xml file? How to find one that is missing?

  In short, an XML file is a file structured data - in other words, it stores the data in a way that is easy for a computer scan and read, but it is also easy(-ish) for a human to read, too.

  Generally, XML can be used for configuration or preference data, or for the exchange of data between applications, but there are a multitude of possibilities.

  This means that, with regard to the resolution of your problem is concerned, that was no help. The whole point of XML is that it is easy for any application store some data he needs, so you need to be more specific on what application you are using and what XML file it is looking for. Only then can someone (possibly) steer you in the right direction.

• Search engines not available, except in mode "Run as Administrator". delete the parent.lock file profiles did not help

  After the upgrade to 21 FF, search engines no longer appear in the bar at the top right of the screen, so no searches are possible. I can navigate to my favorites and apparently also to the links contained in the e-mails.

  If I right click on the FF icon and choose the "Run as Administrator" option, the search engines are there again. I tried to delete the parent.lock in the profiles folder, that this solution was solved a problem I've had recently with the previous version of FF (not being not able to open FF and getting the error message on another version of it running, which had to be closed in the first place - but there was no other version running.) In this case, too, before I discovered the solution, I could open FF using the option "Run as Administrator"). However deleting the parent.lock file does not resolve this issue.

  I would be grateful for your help, especially if a person not very computer like me can understand put in simple terms!

• Cannot open file because Windows needs to know what program created the file

  After downloading some files when I try to open the file, I get the message cannot open the file, windows needs to know what program created the file.

  Any suggestions?

  Perhaps no program has been assigned to this file format and so you cannot open these files.
  I put t know which files you downloaded, but you can choose an application installed that can open these files.

  Right click the file and I have to then choose open with.
  Then, you could choose the program you want to use.

• What is the .rxe file extension

  Is someone can you please tell me what is the .rxe file extension?  I received the NXT robot autonomous OR (Switzerland) some files and their files have been compressed with rar.  When I unzipped brought the files .rxe.  I don't know what type of file this is.  I'm completely new to Labview, so maybe they are afflicted a Labview file?
  Thank you, Jon Hauris

  RXE files are generated by the LEGO MINDSTORMS programming environment (also called NXT - G; it is based on LabVIEW but not equivalent).  These files contain binary data representing a MINDSTORMS program.  To open them, you need the LEGO software.

  This comparison can also help clarify:

  *. RXE is the format of binary file for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT - G)

  *.VI is the file format binary for LabVIEW

• What happens to a file at the end of playback of a file reference?

  Question general file IO.

  If I'm reading a binary file and the read operation reaches the end of this file, what happens to the file reference?  It exist in memory at this time, or is he out once labview publishes the end of file error?

  I coded a "departure" from playback and functionality 'stop' and the 'Stop' button is the only method in place for the closing of the reading file reference.  Immediate sights are

  (a) what is happening to the reference of the file once the read operation reaches the end of the file

  (b) it is important that I have never close the reference of the file once the user clicks on 'stop '?  (i.e. is it a best practice out there?)

  I'm under Labview 8.6 on Vista Business.

  The file reference is valid when you reach the end of the file. Each read operation returns an error, but you can write to this location. Writing will succeed because it's normal when you add data to a file.

  Close the reference when the user types stop is OK. If you implement a Replay button that you just need to reposition the pointer at the beginning of the file file and read again. This avoids the need to close and reopen the case.
