Thanks for the great tip!! I have a 600MB+ divx file that cannot move or rename or
even delete. Explorer.exe needs to be shut down so I can use console to do whatevere
I like with it.
I believe it is not a native windows problem. It is a file problem since incomplete
and damaged files cause this behavior. The certain file is missing some frames...
Thanks again for helping out...
