Plz solve--"Access is denied"

[anurodhjindal]

Hi.
i was pasting a folder of songs to other place but by mistake i dropped it in a folder in which there was a file of "msxml doc". Now when tried to drag this folder of songs out of that folder, it showed a message that the "access is denied" and the folder was showing "empty". when tried to delete it then it showed that "the file is being used somewhere else or to check whether the hdd is not full". i have tried it even after changing it's properties also.

So plz solve this

try deleting teh file in safemode if u are sure the file is not used by any application. Or u can use file unlocker.

[anurodhjindal]

but i don't want to delete the file as it contains songs. and abt "msxml.doc" i don't know whether any application is using it or not.

Well I think it is an OS file...I had a similar problem when I was using XP but when I changed to vista I could delete it..

Use Unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/)

[casanova]

Yeh, use unlocker, the new version has an assistant that sits in the system tray, try cut pasting that songs folder somewhere. If it is unsuccessful, unlocker will prompt to schedule it for the next restart.

[Garbage]

yes, unlocker can solve ur problem.

... n, u can always re-instal msxml from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3144b72b-b4f2-46da-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&DisplayLang=en use the 1st 5mb .msi file.
