    Can't rename. File in use.


    I keep getting an error message about renaming a file that is in use. I made sure everything is closed, including files, folders & programs. I closed windows explorer as well. The file I want to rename is definitely not open anywhere.

    Help Please,

    Hi, try Lockhunter (freeware) to check if sthg is locking the file, or Unlocker, for example.
