[thelist] Cannot Delete - Sharing Violation

[Schenk, Fred]

IIS locks the files for some time. A 'simple' solution might be to RENAME
the file. This can be done (I guess it is an 'enhacement', not a bug ;-) and
then the file can be deleted and the new one uploaded.

<tip type="Delete files despite of IIS locks (Cannot Delete File: There has
been a sharing violation with this file)" author="Fred Schenk">
If IIS might lock a file, first *rename* the old file, then *delete* it
before uploading the new file.
</tip>

Gtx,
