Sometimes I want to overwrite a recent export.  I get the option to "overwrite".

And then suddenly, sometimes I get this instead?  ??????

    Sometimes even a highlighted file (selected) will prohibit write access.

    Is it possible that the file has been locked because it has been imported into the project after encoding?

    I dont know.  cuz the first 2 or 3 times I overwrite, it's ok.

    After that, I cannot overwrite.

    I  ALWAYS say stay signed in on my forum access,

    but I never stay signed in.

    Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)
