| | .fsLockFile I am trying to move files around on my Vista Home Premium 32 bit system. I have been unable to rename, move or delete a specific folder. I have been able to move all of the contents of the folder to a new folder except a file that is called .fsLockFile. I am not sure how it got there or where it came from but at this point, my conclusion is that file is the reason I have been unable to do anything with the folder. I am the administrator and have full permissions to do anything I want with the folder. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? TY -/ME |

| | Re: .fsLockFile You must be using FolderShare and that's a folder that is being synchronized. -steve Mitigation Elf <MitigationElf@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: >I am trying to move files around on my Vista Home Premium 32 bit system.

| | Re: .fsLockFile This was exactly the issue. I have been testing out the diffrerent Products for sharing files and having all of the machines I am using to be albe to have the same version of the files. Among the diferent platforms I have to use - XP Pro, Vista Home Premium 32, Vista Ultimate 64, Office 2003, Office 2007, Groove 3.1 and Groove 2007 - I have found a combination of Groove Foldersharing workspaces and Live Mesh is the only easy way to accomplish what I need. Folder Share was an early attempt at the synch whic was bulky and did not accomplish what I needed. Thanks for your help. /ME "StephenB" wrote: Quote: > You must be using FolderShare and that's a folder that is being synchronized. > -steve > > Mitigation Elf <MitigationElf@xxxxxx> wrote: > Quote: > >I am trying to move files around on my Vista Home Premium 32 bit system.
