The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

File is in use by another process - How can I find what is using / locking it?

Asked by jonnyz0109 in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: another, file, use, process

I am trying to delete a bunch of files (a profile folder, actually), but they are in use. "Cannot delete ntuser.dat: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again." [OK]

And if I try and edit / open NTUSER.dat in notepad, "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

I am NOT logged into this current user, and the files should NOT be in use. If you would like to know more information I can elaborate. I need to know what is using these files, and how I can close those processes and/or services so these files get deleted when they are supposed to.

This is replacing another question that I've had open in this TA for the past 2 days, but received no comments.

Thanks in advance,
~ Jonny
