Photoshop Elements does not start

Some of you have reported a problem when starting Photoshop Elements:

"Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because the file is locked.

Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file."

SOLUTION:

Sometimes Photoshop Elements may start acting strange and may start to cause problems that weren't there before, or Photoshop Elements might become corrupt. One simple fix to a variety of problems is to delete the settings file and have Photoshop create a brand new one during next startup.

To do this hold down the following keys while the program starts:

Ctrl+Shift+Alt

You should be prompted with a dialog box that says:
"Delete the Adobe settings file?"
Click ok and the program will continue to start.

If you don't get the dialog box asking if you wish to delete the settings file, then you didn't hold down the key command early enough. Close Photoshop and try again.
