Could be that the scene file parser is trying to open input files in
totally-exclusive mode (VERY bad idea!), so if the explorer is at the same time
busy trying to get something out ouf the file (like, say, a preview image or
icon it will never be able to find but why the heck should Windows Explorer
care...) the parser can't open it.

That would at least fit all the symptoms I've been seeing here.

So dear developers - if this is the case, please change it! Files that only need
to be read should consequently be opened in read-only mode with allow-read
deny-write locking, so that other software can open them in read-only mode,
too.
