Unable to create a manifest resource name in Visual Studio 2013

Hi all.

I've been getting the following error message in Visual Studio 2013 when trying to Build my solution. Sometimes it happens every other time I try to build, sometimes it's everytime I build my solution and sometimes it doesn't happen at all in one day. If I close Visual Studio and reopen it, the same error appears when trying to build. The only way to get it to build after I get that error message is to log off from my computer and log on again. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

I'm running a Windows 7 machine.

Error Message:

Error      1      Unable to create a manifest resource name for "XRef.resx". The process cannot access the file '\\myserver\home$\myUsername\MyDocuments\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\myApp\myApp\XRef.vb' because it is being used by another process.      myApp

Hi there! :)

You might want to try moving your folder to "C:\Projects\" e.g. and try again.
