Cannot Rename Files With Url Extension
Feb 14, 2012I dragged a web address off and Windows created a shortcut. I was able to change the extension to .txt. The icon changed to that for a text file, and I could open the file and read it.
Since then, though, the url extension does not show up. If I select Rename and add .txt to the part of the filename showing, it evidently retains the url extension after the .txt extension because the icon doesn't change to the one for a text file, I'm not allowed to edit it, and selecting open results in it opening the web page - i.e., acting like it is still a .url file.
I have checked Tools -> View many times and the box for hiding common extensions is unchecked so that is not the problem.
Can't Rename Or Delete MKV Files
Sep 23, 2012I am having a peculiar issue with MKV files - when I attempt to rename or delete these files I am (sometimes) presented with the following error message:
In order to rename the offending MKV files I need to boot into Ubuntu (using a Live OS from CD) and if I want to delete the files I either must use Ubuntu or a "file unlocking program" within Windows (the FileAssassin tool that ships with MalwareBytes is my current preference).

Delete / Rename Through Batch Files?
May 16, 2011So I'm trying to make a personal shortcut on my computer to change a password using the shiftkeys .exe (C:WindowsSystem32sethc.exe) which can be done from setup.I'm looking to design this because I frequently deal with friends and family who have forgotten passwords, as well as my purchasing used computers.I want to automate the process, but I've hit a problem, which is making the batch file remove itself.I have a .exe file replace sethc.exe, with sethc.exe renamed to sethc.exe.I'm using the following lines Code: del sethc.exeren sethc2.exe sethc.exedel %0 The batch file deletes itself successfully (del %0), but it's completely failing at the removal of the .exe and the renaming. I've tried changing the targeting, checking the syntax, but as far as I can tell, everything checks out, yet it still fails.

Sep 30, 2011I have been getting the following error (several in a day) when I try to rename files and/or folders via 'explorer.exe' GUI Now...this happens out of the blue so to speak and despite what the pop up widget says, the file or folder, in this case, was NOT opened in another process. In the above example, I was just trying to 'rename' the folder is all. I didn't even go into the folder at all.
The OS is Windows 7 64 Bit w/SP1 and 8GB DDR3.
The only things I can think of that might be causing the problem are the fact I have an 120GB OCZ Agility II SSD as my system drive with the following optimizations in place
Windows 7 Can't Rename / Delete / Move Mkv Files
Jun 15, 2012My computer has been acting a little weird lately. Recently i've downloaded some .mkv files and now i can't rename or delete or move them. I tried using command prompt and unlocker and it's still not working. It says "action can't be completed because it is being opened by other programme", i don't get this as i close all programmes and it still says the same thing.
My main purpose is to actually move them into another folder. It's only these few days that my computer is acting like this. I can move/delete/rename other avi or mp4 files.

GROD In Only One Folder, Can't Delete/move/rename Files In It
May 1, 2012I have a acer aspire 7750G-6634 laptop, 8gb of ram, 2 HDs, i5, windows 7 home (the one that came with the laptop)?Camtasia created a 50+ gb file on my D drive, I struggled to get the file to work but it seems like it was corrupted (couldn't use it) so I deleted it. Since then I started seeing the green ribbon of death when I was browsing folders on my D. It was always getting worse and worse, until one day I couldn't move/copy/delete any files that was on my D. Then I rebooted and my D drive disappeared?I was able to remove it, 30 minutes in the freezer, then I was able to connect it and save some files (maybe 75% of the files), then can't access it anymore.I bought a new HD from newegg (Seagate Momentus ST9750420AS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive - OEM) and put the new one to replace the one that died.So far so good, but now I see that green ribbon again, but only on my D and only in my "Downloads" folder, the other folders on the D seems to be fine. I can't delete or modify any files in the Download folder.
*Scanned with Superantispyware
*Scanned with AVG2012
*Replaced AVG2012 with AVAST (Had issue with AVG before and I read it could be the cause of the issue)
*Scanned with Avast
*Scanned with SlimDrivers and updated the 15 drivers that were out of date
*Scanned with Emergency Kit (scan never finishes scanning, get stuck at 97% on 3 different files on the D drive so far)
*Checkdisk on both drives (C and D) 3 times (when booting the PC) 4-5 hours each time
*Defraged both disks
*Uninstalled Camtasia + many other softwares that I installed when the issue started (approx.)
*Used CCleaner and cleaned the registry and other files
*Tried to use Xplorer2 instead of windows explorer = same issue
Can't Delete Or Rename Files On External Hard Drive
Jun 19, 2011I just figured out that I can't delete files from my external hard drive. It's WD Elements 320GB. Only thing I did before this occured is that I converted file system from FAT32 to NTFS via command in cmd prompt, but I'm not sure if that showed up after that. So, I don't have "delete" or "rename" commands on right click. Backup of all files is a no go since I don't have so much free space atm. I use my user account which is also admin account.

May 1, 2011I'm trying to clean up an external drive by deleting various files (using Windows Explorer) but like every file gives me "an unexpected error is keeping you from deleting the file error 0x80070570".
Now for some reason I can delete the files using del in the command prompt.But I need to delete hundreds of specific files scattered around, so I need to figure out how to get around this error.I don't want to chkdsk etc on the external either. I just want to bypass the error.
Unable To Delete Some MKV Files
Aug 12, 2012I have about 5 MKV files that I can not delete or rename or move. I can copy them, but then the copies will not be deletable at wherever I paste them. I have tried running as an administrator and "taking ownership", but still can not delete them. They are all .MKV if that matters. I am on Win 7 home 64.

May 1, 2011So, lately my Windows 7 started acting weird. I'm not able to delete or rename files that I have used recently. Let's say I run File.exe, close it and I want to delete/rename this file. Sometimes I'm trying to do that I get error about something that couldn't delete file because it's in use. It also happens with auto patchers in games, system denies to delete/modify items. Happens with compiler aswell, they're not able to over-write output file. I'm not going to post screenshot since it doesn't happen always and I don't really know how to reproduce this, but it's regular error box with message similar to "Couldn't delete file. File is in use/opened by some process." or something like that with 2 buttons "Retry" and "Cancel". Current solution for that is Log off/Reboot or use application called "UnLocker" (I found it via Google some time ago)

Oct 21, 2011Since 2 days, in a certain folder, I cant rename, move or delete folders or files. Now, it has spread to my desktop as well. If I rename a folder, even a new folder, the name changes ''magically'' within seconds to restore to its previous name. If I move the folder or file, it comes back and if I delete it, it restores. I tried to make a system restore, even format (!), the problem persists. I use this folder to tag and rename my new mp3s so I have to be able to 1) rename, 2) move the folders the files and folders in it.

Sep 22, 2012I have migrated my Windows 7 OS to a SSD, but my Users folder is too large to migrate. I am going to set a junction between C:Users on my SSD and F:Users on the HDD where my OS was originally. The instructions I have read indicate that I need to rename the C:Users folder in order to set the junction, since it will not work if there is still a folder named C:Users. However, there is no ""Rename" option available when I right-click on C:Users. In fact, several of the folders in the root directory of C: have no "Rename" option.
