SolidWorks and Windows Desktop Search
SolidWorks and Windows Desktop Search
(OP)
Has any one incountered issues with SolidWorks and Windows Desktop Search?
I had a situation here where I was told the SolidWorks search functionality (Windows Desktop Search)had taken control (ownership) of a file to where no one else could open or use that file.
I was told I had to re-boot my machine so that ownership could be released.
This was a file I had never seen or opened before.
any thoughts?
The engineering group just wants to understand if what IT told is valid. We are leaning towards no.
Thanks

There are tools on the net for this. They seem to have someway of releasing ownership...
But if I were IT I would tell you to reboot as well...
