IdolWild 0 Posted July 7, 2000 Hey all, I have Windows 2000 Professional and I *am* logged in as administrator. As an example - I'm trying to organize the Start Menu, deleting some icons, moving others, renaming, creating and deleting folders, etc. When I have a shortcut and move it out of one of the folders and then try to delete the folder it gives me a "There has been a sharing violation - either the source or destination files may be in use." Now, NOTHING else is running and I don't have any others windows displaying the contents of what i'm trying to delete. I get these sharing errors all the time, and it doesn't reset until I reboot. What's going on here? Share this post Link to post
kgeissler 0 Posted July 9, 2000 What apps do you have running at startup? Try pausing the Indexing service and see if that helps. Share this post Link to post
shassouneh 0 Posted November 29, 2003 I had the same Exact Problem. I went into Services and Disabled Norton Anti Virus Auto Protect and everything worked just fine. Make sure you disable your anti virus's auto protect feature, as it somehow puts a lock on almost ALL files! Share this post Link to post
shassouneh 0 Posted November 30, 2003 I don't know for sure. I disabled a whole bunch of services from Administrative tools, and that halped a LOT. I think its the Oracle stuff that was murdering my poerformance! Share this post Link to post
