Default Re: Folder lock problem, how to unlock?

Yes, that is what I did, I copyed the content (files and folders) of the problematic special characters folder, not the folder itself. I deleted the folder with the strange (ASCII?) charcters after I copyed its content.
Everithing is OK now and I suppose I will never have this problem again, but it's good to know the solution
And also someon having the same problem might read this and find it helpful...

Thnaks,
we have another way of delaing with this problem then.
obviously the system attributes have been the key...
BTW, is this the reason why I couldn't rename it in cmd?
