in thread The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process?[Problem disappeared!]

To add to this, in my experience, I sometimes found the "preview" pane of Explorer.exe holding open files and thus preventing moving/renaming/overwriting. This does not always happen, and I've used the preview pane to watch images/automatic screenshots being updated. But maybe some other Explorer extension is not as careful with allowing overwriting of files or it is an unfortunate timing issue.
