Why when you try to rename or move a file does Windows say: The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program

This is so infuriating and it happens all the bloody time!  Dear Microsoft, here's an idea.  Tell me WHAT PROGRAM IT'S OPEN IN!!!  Cos nothing's running.  And I'm happy to kill a processes for you but I don't know which one is causing you confusion.  But you do.  So why don't you just tell me?

So annoying.

Put all documents on an external FW hard drive. Just unplug/replug if Windows starts bitching. :D

As for linux, UNIX files systems can lock files too  :angry:
