Access denied to files

[jose nunes]

Lately I've been facing a new problem with TotalCommander

After zipping files using the Files-Pack menu I can't email them using my email client because I get the message:

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

The another process is TotalCommander

Is this a problem of TotalCommander?

Hello !

¤ When the files are already packed, they aren't "used" by TC ! They are a single archive, available for any use.
¤ Please, tell us what mailer you are using.
* I don't think it be a problem of TC.
* In example, with Eudora™ you can attach the ZIP to an email from Eudora™ directly. The same with the most mailers softs…

 Kind regards,

I'm using Outlook 97 and I'm sorry to contradict you but investigating all the opened files in the system using a software called TaskInfo my zip file is in use by TotalCommander. Only when I close TotalCommander I can send the zip file.

¤ I can send ZIPs with Eudora™ even when TC is open still !
* The files are used by TC only while you pack them; after, the packing is made, it's an archive; TC is a file manager, it shows only the location and the features of this archive, it does NOT use it at all !
* You might try another mailer, Outlook is buggy and has as so many holes in it as a sieve… :P

jose nunes,
Maybe you are inside the archives in TC?

I discovered that this only happens when using the "Send To - Mail recipient using Outlook" option of the System context menu for the zip file. The file becomes as opened by TotalCommander and is unavailable to Outlook.

If instead I use a simple drag and drop to a new mail message window there is no problem.

I'm using Outlook 2002 and no problem till now...
Maybe it is a bug of Outlook 97.
