I have created a directory on my hard drive using explorer. Have placed some
files in it and when finished what I was doing, deleted them. When I try to
delete the directory I get a message that some other program is using the
directory. Its properties show the directory is read only. If I change it it
just reverts to read only. I have rebooted the computer to no avail. Anyone
know what the problem is.
5ivey.

Is the directory open in any instance of Windows Explorer?
