128411 2003-03-15 09:50:00 Am running windows 2000 professional Service pack 1with two users both administrators.

the problem is that when i create a file or folder with a created user and try to delete the folder or file i get an error which says


Cannot delete "FileName" : There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.


i have absolutely no idea what it is but logging in as administrator and deleting the file or folder works.

Deleting the user and creating the user again does not work.
whats causing it ???

128414 2003-03-17 04:38:00 Have a look at the properties of the directory. If it is set as "Shared", it will probbaly be protected from deletion, just in case someone else is using it. Try removing that setting first. Graham L (2)
