FreeCommander Forum

This has been happening somewhat randomly for the last few releases. A few other applications I use that check for file locks before accessing files are displaying a "file is currently in use by" error with the username and computer blank.

I initially used the Windows Process Explorer (procexp.exe) to find the file in question and the FreeCommander.exe process has the file handle locked.

Since then when a file lock error occurs I just exit freecommander and the file is unlocked. Rebooting does not help. OS = Win7 64bit.

Check if your quick viewer is active. You can switch on/off quick viewer with Ctrl+Q.

I suggest problem is similar to viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6692

Nope, dont use quick view.
Edit: WHOOPS! - on second look, my quickview window was active but minimized or so small I couldnt see it. I have turned it off now and expect the locking to cease.

Thanks Timon!
