Problem moving files wile windows is locked

Post by DavJans » Mon Jun 12, 2017 6:55 pm

I have writen a small app that looks for wiles in a folder, when it finds files it will do some stuff with the data then move that file into another folder. This all works great untill the computer that it is running on is locked, either by the user or by the screen save. Im asuming while the computer is locked its not alowing programs to move files, in wich case am I SOL or does anyone know a work arround for that?

Note, While the computer is locked, the program still looks for files and does the stuff, it just does it over and over because it cant move the file out when its done.

Hi.

When you say "locked", do you mean "asleep"? Or is this a windows term?

It is a thing in windows, Im sure mac had it too. the computer is not asleep, its just requires your password to get back in again.
