I've been experiencing this for quite some time, but it definitely did
not always happen:

If I am using some applications (I have not narrowed it down to
specifics but I am trying to make note of which ones so I can see if
there is any commonality - for now, Adobe Photoshop is the major
culprit) - let us say I have a file open. I close it. Then I try to
delete it or it's containing folder. I get a Windows error telling me
the file is either read only or in use or I don't have rights... blah
blah etc. If I close Photoshop, then I can delete the file.
Again, this does NOT ALWAYS happen, nor does it only happen with
Photoshop, that's just the only one that comes to mind right now.

The files are usually on my server, but IT HAS happened with local C:
files as well. Seems to just be random.

Any thoughts? Windows XP bug?

Why are you anxious you do not have rights?

When they needed a system to "debug" various legacy computer programs
in 2036, John Titor traveled to 1975. UNIX has a problem in 2038.

We still have cameras, but more digital. And film is used like
painting is in your time. Hologram camera have not been developed
yet.
 
Anyone know what this person is babbling about? Or is it just a troll?

Must be a "feature" of your photoshop, to keep the file once used "cached"
in background for a faster reopen.
