File Open In Com Surrogate

tsfrance said:

I searched for this but nothing popped up. Many times when I try to delete a file or folder I get the "action can not be completed because the file is open in com surrogate." pop up. My two fixes have been to shut down com surrogate in task manager or to just simply reboot.

Is there a permanent fix for this?

Thank You.
