Try it in Safe Mode...


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?

The file is a PDF on my desktop, and now I've opened with "Open All Files". but after that I wanted to do it again but nothing happens. When I put the mouse-pointer over the file there are 2 arrows on the file (one pointing left and the second pointing right and and on the right one there is a small wheel that keeps turning.

Sometimes I still can open it with "Open all files" but I cannot get it into the trash.
