But apps have to use it. An example of an app that apparently doesn't is Explorer. Another example: cmd.com. So if you have a shell or explorer window opened in a directory, and an app tries to delete or move it, that app will die. It might be better for Explorer to notice and go up to the next nearest available directory.

- mike_hearn 4y agoAt least last year I was seeing problems where having Explorer open in a directory would block an app from moving or deleting that directory. So if it was using oplocks then, it didn't seem to be working.
