Hi all --
-- I downloaded some mpeg files onto my desktop, and they have
resisted all efforts to move them into a folder, with the message "the
file ,,,, is being used by another task right now (other tasks include
moving, copying. or emptying the Trash). Try again when the other task
is complete."

You could try a Power DOWN and then start up again ... it's often
different to a straight " restart " .
Also do a Repair Permissions
Finally , start up from another drive or CD and manipulate the files
from there .

OS9 boot used to be good for that sort of thing.
Attempts to Duplicate one of these files gives "this operation cannot
be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for ....".
I can rename one of these files or move it elsewhere on the desktop,
and that is all.
-- Looking at Ownership & Permissions under Info shows the file is
unlocked and the Owner shown correctly, but 'Access' is greyed out.
Any suggestions, anyone? TIA.
