Did you by chance either install win 7 as an upgrade, or move the files from one hd to another?im getting annoyed, some random video folders, game folders i have, appear with a folder with a lock!? whyyy?

Clean install.
they are shared over the network, my xbox and my other PC can access them.
Also i do use libraries but only have the default folder in them, which i re located through the properties to my other partition.
Thing is, its not every folder, its just some, like 20 folders in video folder, contating a video, some of the 20 folders have a lock.
Why is this?
*Solved
Set sharing to Everyone. This is very stupid, Videos Folder was moved, some videos end up with lock, some dont. It also said some are in use, i disconnected my ethernet cable. Still in use. WMP was closed, nothing at all could of been accessing the files. very weird. didnt have any problem in vista.
yeah it worked, i set sharing to Everyone, eventhough i could already access the files over the network for that particular folder within Videos folder. very very odd.
I've noticed the lock gets put on them when you create a read only share.
I think it means the OS requires elevation before you can access it.
