Unable to move files WIN XP PRO SP1

[Isnork]

This issue appears to have just appeared in the last month or so and unfortunately I am unable to narrow down a specific time frame. Whenever I move a file on the PC I am no longer able to open or delete the moved file. I get an access violation error such as "word cannot open the document: user does not have access privliges"

I only have 1 account on this client and it has full administrator privliges. I have not found a file that it has not effected yet, word docs, jpeg images even folders. I may be able to move an object once, but not a second time. When I receive the access denied error, I am also unable to delete the file to the recycle bin, I can only do a permanent delete.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Where are you moving these files to? For some reason XP thinks you do not have permission to access the moved file.

You can try using this procedure.
