seems when i load up a theme and change some stuff then goto save the theme this error pops up
only way around it i noticed is use unlocker to unlock the file then i can save the theme file
but when i goto change the theme between other themes it resets the theme back to normal

If you open up Resource Monitor under the CPU tab, in the associated handles search box, search that theme's name, is there something using it?

Have you tried rebooting or restarting explorer? Explorer shouldn't be locking the files.

I don't know what theme resource changer is, but some program has locked the file and is preventing anything from writing to it. It isn't a bug, that error message is the same as this one in Windows: (http://i.cubeupload.com/ZYUboi.png)

Theme resource changer, whatever it is, if it's opening the msstyles then it could be locking it preventing other programs from writing to it.

For example if I open a theme (eg, X:\Desktop\New Folder\Aero.msstyles) in Restorator, it'll lock the file so other programs can't write to it:

So if I try to save my theme as X:\Desktop\New Folder\Aero.msstyles it'll give me that error.

If you can find out what program is locking it and stop it then it'll work just fine. Otherwise you can try http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/
