I cannot reply to this thread: Is it possible to enable System Protection from the command prompt?
I have the exact same problem, but when I tried:
ren SYSTEM system.001
ren SOFTWARE software.001
...I was able to rename the SYSTEM file, but when I tried to rename the SOFTWARE file, it says:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
I tried Takeown /F but it didn't work. Any ideas?

You shouldn't be replying to an old question with "I have this problem too." People doing that is why it got locked. What you should do is ask your own question (as you have done) and tell us what your problem is and what didn't work. Try to make your question self-contained but link to other sources to show that your question is similar but distinct from the original question. You can edit your question to provide more information. It might also be worth taking the [tour] to see how thing here are different from a forum.
