The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows CE Operating System, Versions 1.0
This article was previously published under Q167925 SYMPTOMS
When you use Handheld PC (H/PC) Explorer to move a file from one folder to
another on your H/PC, you may receive the following message:
This folder already contains a file called '<filename>'. Would you
Like to replace the existing file...?
If you click Yes to overwrite the existing file, you may receive the
following error message:
Cannot move <filename>: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not
full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use.
If you click OK, the file that you attempted to overwrite is deleted.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when all of the following conditions exist:
- A file with the same name as the file that you are attempting to
move already exists in the destination folder.
- The file you are attempting to move is open on your H/PC.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, make sure the file is closed before you
attempt to move it.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
