Error Message "Access Is Denied" Renaming Directory (130589)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q130589 SYMPTOMS
When you rename a directory on a Microsoft Windows NT server or work-
station from a Windows 95 client, you may receive the following error
message:
Error Renaming File
Cannot rename <directory name>: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use.
-or-
Cannot rename <directory name>: There has been a
sharing violation. The source or destination file
may be in use.
The directory is correctly renamed even though you receive this error
message.
CAUSE
This error message is generated if there is an open file in the directory
you are trying to rename. The server is holding on to the open file's
handle, in case the file needs to be opened again shortly. You receive an
error message because the file appears to be in use.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
