    I am trying to move this folder from:

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ Jodix\Free RM to MP3 Converter

    to >>>

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Free RM to MP3 Converter.

    I don't want the Jodix folder to be precedent, but here is the error I get. I am the computer administrator, and that folder is not open by anything else? I have noticed this happening quiete a few times in Windows 7 and its getting on my nerves.

    Find whatever's using that folder and close it.

    To do this, you can try using Process Explorer and searching for the file handle.
