Problem with Scrap/Document Shortcut
Unable to open
A share violation has occurred.
Description
The specified file is being used or locked by another application and cannot be accessed at this time.
Sample Dialog
Dialog may appear differently depending on XP style options and where it occurs.
A Scrap/Document shortcut is created when a object (such as a section of text or a table from Word or Excel) is copied and pasted to the desktop for later use. The scrap can only be used in an application that understands the scrap. When created, Microsoft uses the .shs file extension. Note that even if extensions are turned one, Explorer will still hide this extension.
This file can contain the information along with scripting and other executable content. This means it can also contain a virus or other malware. Only scraps created by the original user should be used (i.e. those you create yourself). Scrap files from other sources, such as email attachments, cannot be trusted and should not be used.
