Oh, closing Explorer and re-starting seems to solve it, but that isn't that convenient to do.

Safe Mode is not necessary. Just a re-boot. Half the time, even 'Unlocker' doesn't work, but gives the option to do the action (delete or re-name) after a re-boot. Cut and paste is another non-worker. But again, this isn't with every or just any folder. I don't see any pattern. Funny thing is, copy & paste does work. Just to show the extent of the problem, this has a list of 36 'so-called' fixes; https://windowsreport.com/action-cannot-be-completed-because-file-open-another-program/ The common issue is thumbnails, which never applied here. BTW, this also applies to W10 !

Yes W7 is x64. And yes, after a reboot I can delete that folder as long as I don't open it back up. I don't see any connection to IP addresses and this problem.

Here is the list, nothing even remotely close to that number. Thanks for the link. I'm surprised I didn't find that thou the title of the thread isn't close to what the error message was which is what I based my searches on. I assume this gets C/P to a command line? I tried it as it more than once, but nothing was created; Security updates list 1210 thru 0315.txt

Never done it, I have full admin rights across the board (by initial design), it's running AFAIK, any drive, any partition.

Yes, it shouldn't of been, the O/S is on a SSD. I disabled it. Not sure to the 2nd question. Was that "do .net" or "dot.net"? I don't see it running in Process Hacker as a service or process, but not sure of the exact name it has. No to both.

Doing a search brings up plenty of hits. Never heard of "Unlocker"?? (There are others.) The only updates I have are security related up to the middle of 2016 when this base image was created via RT7 Lite. I have never done auto-updates! All I was doing was renaming a file inside that folder. Sometimes just opening a folder up, doing nothing, this stops renaming or deleting that folder and worse yet many time Unlocker is unable to do the action until next boot.

Then, what is the purpose of these in the 1st place??

This site falls into the 'over 50%' category. That "N" in green almost fills the entire 1st page if I were to print this. Simplify Page gets rid of that, but spreads out everything else.

Interesting point. I also find Opera Classic does a better job many times than FF at handling poorly written pages (which is well over 50% of sites in one form or another) that don't print properly. FF has the "Simplify Page" option (something oddly SeaMonkey doesn't) which works many times, but not all. Of course some sites are a complete disaster forcing the use of a custom screen capture program to crop what you want (I use SnagIt).

It's been there since inception on any W7 PC I have had. Uninstall is out of the question, that's for serious issues, not annoyances.

I have searched the entire universe (at least it seems that way) for a actual solution more than once to this with absolutely no luck. The simplest operation; Open folder, examine contents, close folder, then rename fails. Many times even using 'Unlocker'. I did find a very long list of things to try, again most having to do with thumbnails, but no luck there, of course starting with checking those multiple show/don't show thumbnails/icons entries. In spite of what 95% of the suggestions state (thumbnails issue), just about all of these folders have no thumbnails inside. The only operation that can be done is moving the folder. Delete, cut or rename functions are locked out, half the time even using Unlocker. Never had this in XP. I never see a pattern to this to make matters worse. WTF is responsible for this beyond lame M$ blunder all all times??

Planned obsolescence.

I only use V56 since it was the last version that works with all the necessary add-ons (Classic Theme Restorer & Tab Mix Plus) to make up for the toy phone/post teenager designed look of these newer version wonders. Some prefer v52 since it allows Java to be used. You might check out SeaMonkey which is close to FF v56 in configuration.

You didn't need to use the quote function for a post one before myours, especially since it was the only post in the thread. Anyways, problem was solved 2 years ago, wrong jacks were used to the Int. Amp.

This is NOT the typical low audio out problem with Realtek chipsets which can be mostly fixed with tweaking level, balance & eq. settings. I researched that. This is on a single PC (tower) with two bootable drives, both running Win 7 from the same original image. The only difference (if you can call it that) is one drive is a SSD, the other a HDD. The 2nd bootable drive is used as a backup. This probalm is a good example why I have this. The MB is Gigabyte and it's the on board audio chipset that is being used. No other audio. This is using software for playing back mp4 files (LA Player, Pot Player & VLC Player). Doesn't matter which software, nor does it matter which mp4 file, one one drive the audio is fine. The other, the level is down anywhere from 10 to 20 db! I have updated the driver, but there as no change. It can only be some hidden O/S issue somewhere, but I have no idea what or where. Since everything is the same, the only differences are the system files, possibly including the registry, but that is a long shot. I have been trying different player softwares and I wonder if one of them made some 'hidden' change to the O/S somewhere that it affects the system globally past the user controls. Any idea here??

Not even close. While they are similar type of programs, they function differently. Other than the UI (one good, the other bad), there are pluses and minuses for each.\ You can add a separate quote using the " in that edit bar above the post. Editing functions with the SW this forum uses is poor (probably M$ )

BTW, there is an edit button in the lower left corner of your post enxt to the quote button.

How do you stop that from happening? Is that suppose to mean the thread is blacklisted, or should I say boycotted? Like all forums, it's a 'users' forum with 'users' helping other users. These are not developers forums where the owners (authors) of the software are supporting the product.. I have used nLite with XP. I tried to use Winreducer with W7, but gave up due to the lousy & confusing interface. That NTlite is useless since it has NO UI customizing since the author doesn't seem to think that is important. Deleting files to slim down the O/S is easy compared to spending hours tweaking it. Misplaced priorities!

I'm now getting this error also. Never saw it before. I did not see any responses to this members post. Anyone else have this?

The above problem was due to using an altered O/S. No idea how it got that way, it never happened before. Current problem; I just started to try using the registry tab in RT7 Lite. I use 'Registry File Merger V1' to do so to make it easier. It appears that either there may be a limit on how many entries that can be added, or there are conflicts, or 'clashes' with certain entries that cause the program to crash. The other problem some don't work at all even though I have tried all of the files separately in an active W7 and they all work. The example attached I haven't tried yet, but is similar to the last one that crashed. I have tried it before with four entries and there was no crash. Any input of this?

In the mean time, in spite of its age and lack of support, I wanted to try RT7 Lite again. The current problem is trying to us a lastsession file. I have thied it three times, but 95% of the changes are not done. I doubled checked loading the session either by using the last one, or pointing the program to the file. Same result. I have done this before and think I remember having a similar problem, but I can't find the problem. When I tab thru the sections and briefly confirm the selection I checked are in deeded checked, all appears to be good. The program sees the file and loaded it, but the process ignored 90+% of the changes. I hit apply on each tab even thou I make no changes. I even use unlocked to delete those unneeded files in the RT_Mount folder; Backup folder, wimRE.wim, Wallpaper, Themes (some) and those public folders. Those appear to be still there afterwards. Questions; 1. Does it matter where the lastsession file is located? 2. Does it matter where the original O/S folder is placed (does it have to be in 'C' drive)? I do use the folders version, not a iso to save time.

I knew I recognized that name from somewhere. It's been years since I used nLite.

I liked RT7 Lite thou it does have issues, but worse is Winreducer!!! Both have poor documentation given the complexity of both with all the choices to remove or disable. Both seem to think everyone knows each and every service & process by heart. Thanks for that link, I never heard of it.

I don't use IE, I use Opera portable It was not registered as the default browser which it is now, Clinking on web links within applications (help & support links for example) opens the browser ok, but only to my start page, not to the intended web page. Also, when I click on a HTML file, it does the same thing. Opens the browser to the start page, not the file. It's not recognizing the link or the file. I went through the URL Associations etc. in the registry and they all point to Opera. Protocols point to Opera also. I was successful the 1st time I tried this, but I don't remember exactly how that was different that this time. (I had to load a recent backup image for other unrelated problems left over from a bloated program I couldn't clean out). Any ideas??
