Rick, thanks for the read-only information. I restarted windows and the
problem went away (of course), but when I was getting the error I was
getting an "Access Denied" error. I don't remember the specifics, but it
was basically, "you may not have persmission to do this, or it may be in
use by another user."

When I shut-down, I got an error that an application wasn't responding,
would I like to force it to shut down, but it didn't list an application
name. Next time it happens I'll try and get the actual error, and the
list of running processes.

My guess is that it has something to do with the Beta ASP.NET 2.0
installation on my machine, as it is a completely clean install with
that being the only strange thing. It is odd that I have only
encountered the access denied error on that second drive though.
