    Problem when changing folder name


    Whenever I want to change the name of a folder and I have opened the folder in question first I always get an error message saying:
    "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file is open in another program", even though this is not true.
    I have to exit Windows Explorer and enter again, and sometimes even this is not enough.
    What to do about this?

    Your welcome, I'm happy to hear that, that was able to resolve your problem.

    If you would do me, and other members of the Forum a small favor, would you mark your thread solved?

    It is helpful to anyone else who has this similar problem and is looking for a solution. Thank you.
