    Hi,

    I need serious help with this error. I don't know why, but recently I moved a few of my mpg files to another folder, and since then they have been locked for some reason. Everytime I try to open/copy/delete any of them it says "Access is Denied" due to some permission or the file being open, both if which is really not the case. I have no idea what else to do. Will someone be able to tell me how to get them back to normal so I can actually open the files?

    Please let me know asap.. Thanks in advance!

    Find them in dos, then check file permissions (attrib) I bet they have moved as "read only" Can't remember how to change file attribites in dos, but you should be able to delete them regardless. Any dos 6.x guide will tell you how to deal with them.
