WhoLockMe

[GCC Consulting]

Downloaded the program and tested it on a network share.

Opened a file w:\filepro\alarm and went into update mode on the files
record.

The information shown is

Locker Name  Pid	          Opened file	       handle   Domain
user   Locker Full Path
Rclerk.exe  0x134(4936)  w:\filepro\alarm\key	 0x074C   Lassie     rkreiss
t:\fp56\fp\rclerk

If you click on the item shown, there is an option to kill the process.

Opened a second session as above but not in update mode and both access to
the file were shown.

The only thing is you can see who is accessing the file but not who has it
locked.

This is a handy utility on a network if you need to know who is accessing a
specific file from explorer.
