re: Error moving file or folder - File locked

Since a week or two we're experiencing the same trouble. This affects only excel
and pdf files. When I copy such a file, the copy is editable but the original remains
'locked' (the file is not read only and the rights assignment is correct)
After a server reboot the files are free to delete but after some time the file gets
'locked' again. Now I use a utility called 'unlocker' to mark the ##*!! files to
either delete or rename but this is solving the consequences and I'd like to solve
the cause of this problem.
Can anyone help me out?
