Vista - Can't copy media files into media library if WMP11 is open.

Can't copy media files into media library if WMP11 is open.

I am trying to copy my media library from my Windows 2003 server to my Vista
RC2 computer. I executed the copy from the Vista PC to a mapped drive on the
Windows 2003 server. About every 10 to 20 or so files, the process stops
with an error that says:

"The requested operation cannot be performed on a file that has a
user-mapped section open."

There is no program open on the server that has the file open.

In the middle of writing this, I just tried closing WMP11 on the Vista PC
and the problem goes away. I have always had WMP open when copying large
numbers of media files so that the file monitoring functions would keep up
and I don't have to either initiate a manual search or wait for the file
monitoring to catch up later.

Apparently this is another Vista/WMP11 bug in that WMP11 is opening the new
files before they are even finished copying!
