yeah that is the symptom: 'Permission denied' whatever you try to do
with that Directory...)
Solution: Standard Microsoft Support Technique: Reboot. Hard to
imagine that some people are running this crap on 'production' system

Mmmm ... so Unix that lets you delete files under a running process,
causing a crash, is any better?

 No, that's not how it works on Unix systems. If a file is removed that is still open in a program, 
the directory entry disappears (meaning that you have no chance of opening it again) but it remains 
open in the program (or programs) and it only physically disappears when all programs using it have 
closed it.
