When I try to defrag my machine I get lots of files always locking themselves. I run the cluster inspector in O&O and this is what it comes up with on all the locked files:

Anyone know how to unlock them?


I have tried many various things in the file properties such as changing owner, switching encryption on and off and nothing works. [sad]

Running Windows 2000 SP4.
 
try WhoLockMe
(freeware shell extention) then navigate to them in windows explorer, RClick the file > WhoLockMe
assorted aps may hav ahold of em
 
Some reason, I have installed that software, and right click over the file and go to "Who Locked ME? ...", and nothing happens.
 
are you employing any encryption or are they encrypted compressed archives (like rar zip ace ect?)
are you doing this from an administrator account


try disabling simple file sharing and taking ownership of those files and folders

I dont want to be alarmist but files you cant access with an administrators account (from inside Windows) are highly suspect and might be malware

Project Honeynet, Know your Enemy Series

specifically
Know Your Enemy: Worms at War & Know Your Enemy: III They gain root


another possibility are they backups or something?

could you post the full paths?
