How to prevent "this Folder or File is accessed by another process" error?

Hi,

When i try to execute the following code,

Directory.SetCreationTime(destinationPath, Directory.GetCreationTime(sourcePath));

at the same time i opened 'destinationPath' in WindowsExplorer.

i am getting "this Folder or File is accessed by another process" error.

How to prevent this error?

You can't change a file when the file is opened in another process.
