I'm trying to rename a file that is on the domain network.
No files are currently opened.
- Open windows explorer afresh
- Nagiviate to the folder is I want to rename that is on the server.
- Windows says a file is opened in another window and cannot rename.
Is there a solution to this problem?
I tried these:
Method 1:
When you have trouble in opening the file from the client computer, I would suggest you to open the file directly from Server computer and check if you get the same error there as well.
Method 2:
If you don’t receive the same error on server machine, then I would suggest you to place the client computer in clean boot state and then try to open the file.
You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After checking in clean boot, follow step: 3 from the article to reset the computer to normal boot.
Method 3:
Perform System File Check to fix the corrupted system files on client computer and then try to open the file.
Note: It may ask for Windows DVD to fix and to enable SFC to make more than minor repairs. Some files saved on your computer might get deleted when fixing corrupted files.
