I’m on a network with most of my files in a personal drive on the network. XP Pro with Office XP Pro and all service packs installed.
Files that are recently closed will not delete for several minutes. I get an error (after 15+ seconds) telling me that the file is still open or being used by another user.
What’s strange is that I can rename the files with no problem.
I tried to open the task manager during this process, which then immediately closes the explorer window to that drive. (No office programs other than Outlook are shown running.) I can’t access the drive in explorer again until the error message is displayed.
Aside from a baseball bat, is there anything that can be done?
