This is also the case for files on HostFS, on my XP system. Are you using
HostFS?
What I particularly dislike about locks not being applied is that when you
use the Filer to lock a HostFS file there's no indication that it didn't
actually happen. Even greying-out the Lock (etc) options for HostFS files
would be an improvement.
