I'm having a problem with windows xp pro, it write protected a folder and says Access Denied the folder may be write protected.
Also it says for some files I just recently downloaded that I can't access winxp says they are in use by other programs, I tried rebooting, safe mode, but the file is still in use.

can anyone help me?
