Bestand is Dutch for file
Kladblok is Dutch for texteditor

Any time i try to move or rename my zero hour root folder it says action cannot be done because the folder or file in it is open in another program. What does this mean and how do i fix it. Im just trying to rename it so i can take it out and put a different zero hour directory with a different game mod in it.

I know this sounds dumb, but have you tried restarting your computer? Sometimes a program forgets to release a file when it's done, but restarting (which refreshes all the file locks) should fix the problem if that's what it is.

Instead of trying to delete the folder, open the folder and delete everything inside it.
