Folder handle lock after close file
Hi
I have problem with locked folder after use (open and close) files of any type in that folder. Problem occurs on every PC in my network and on local and server storage.
Steps to reproduce this problem:
1. Create folder named for example: c:\tmp\ddd
2. Run Microsoft Word and create new doc
3. save this document in c:\tmp\ddd\ as abc.doc
4. Close this document but NOT close Word
5. Now try to rename folder c:\tmp\ddd\ to c:\tmp\ddd2\ - You cannot - this is my problem
Error Message says that this folder is used by some process or program
I run handle.exe and i see:
Handle v3.42
