I have a file in a folder called bla.exe
I copy a newer version to the folder
windows 7 asks me if I want to copy and replace the file
I say yes
Windows 7 says "error file is open in another program"
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!!!
(it is in no way shape or form open in any program except for explorer!)
There is some kind of delayed file protection inside windows 7 that is not in windows XP nor vista.
in XP or vista you can copy and replace files with no problems.
I have searched and found several possible fixes that dont fix the problem:
1.) I set the advanced owner permisions to my whole C: drive to have the owner as Administrator instead of trusted installer
2.) UAC is off and I have set all basic permissions to full control on admin and on everyone

problem #2
In windows XP I edit a batch file and I click save to save its new contents.
In windows 7 I save the edited batch file and it says it is in use and I end up having to save it as a different name or different location!

- I have searched to no end on this issue since win 7 came out.
- I have this same issue after re-installing windows 7 multiple times( and with default settings)
- I have this same issue on different peoples computers that have win 7 too.

the files that have copy errors can be ANY exe and it wont let you unless you wait about 10 minutes after you clicked the original exe.
the batch save problem also exists on any windows 7
