if you use the context menu or the d&d function esp. in Windows 7 then apparently the Windows Explorer is rather curious what has changed in the files he shows in an open window - and blocks them.

So if you either copy&paste the path from the WE or use the MP3tag-function to open a path.  
Hopefully, the error will then not occur.
