Locked File? Please help

I made a wallpaper in Photoshop and saved the PSD file to my hard drive. I didn't do anything differently then I usually do when I save a file. When I went back to open the file it said it was locked and to use the 'properties' feature in Windows Explorer to unlock the file.

I went in Windows Explorer and right clicked the file and selected 'properties' but I don't see anywhere to unlock the file. Do any of you have an idea of what could be the problem? I have tried and tried to unlock this file.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Andy

Right click on the file in explorer, click on properties. Then at the bottom it will say "Read Only" and there should be a checked box there. Just uncheck it.

I check that already and Read Only wasn't checked. Man this is frustrating. Andy

I'm just guessing and I'm gonna say you saved that file to your "desktop"??????

I have had exactly what you are explaining happen but only if I save .psd files to the desktop of my Win98 machine.

they way to fix that:

start up in safe mode....move that file to a folder like "my documents" and restart.
