There used to be "single-user" and "network" versions of filePro under
Windows.  Now, there is simply a single "N-user" version, based on the
license you get.  filePro is network-aware regardless of the number of
users you are licensed for.

Well, make sure that there really is no one in any file.  Then:

     del x:\path\to\filepro\lockf*. /s /q

But, why are you having lockfile issues?  Do you close the command
windows without exiting filePro first?
