unable to move the local My Documents location to point to the servers My Documents

hi experts,

 so I right click on the local My Documents on my computer and I select Location tab and then Move... and point it to the My Documents on the server that is shared and I can completely get to it. I click apply and I get a move folder warning asking me if I really want to move from old location to new. I click yes, its preparing to copy and then I get this message below.

Folder in use
The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program.
close the folder or file an dtry again.   MyDocuments.

I have nothing else open on the workstation or the server. How do I fix this?

Any databases running?  Background/desktop Image? Try logging on as different user, see if same issue.  Could be corrupt user profile.
frankbustos--You may think no other programs are open/running (and using My Documents) but you may find otherwise by using Process Explorer.
