Windows 7 is new with Preview/Details panes. These Preview/Details panes contribute to the "Available resources" issues, as well as our "Locked for Editing by another user" issues. We consider turning them off in these 3 locations as a valid test:
Windows:
1. Right click on Start Ribbon.
2. Click Open Windows Explorer.
3. Click Organize | Layout |
4. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
Excel:
1. Click File | Open.
2. Click Organize | Layout |
3. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
Outlook:
1. Open a new e-mail.
2. In the "Include" group, click Attach File.
3. Click Organize | Layout |
4. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.

Anyway, I just uninstalled Windows Live Essentials and Microsoft Outlook Social Connector for Live Messenger, which came with an update from Microsoft on 4/7/2011. This appears to have solved the problem.
