Easiest way to determine which process is using a specified file

    Hi,

    Often we meet into a situation where we can't delete a file because some
    process has it locked. But, we can't tell which process has it locked. Often
    times, we resort to log-off and log-in of the system.

    Is there any good way to find out which process has it locked? Any in-built
    capability of Windows that can do this? Any free tool?

    Would appreciate your comments.

    thanks!

    u ask a good questions, in NT4.0 OS days, i can use winfile to check
    properties of file and disconnect them.

    But for win2k and above,i can't find the tool, so if anyone in this news
