enumerate open files

[flyingboz]

Any suggestions /approaches for determining open files, and enumerating the

user(s) who have them open?

I have googled, and rtfm, and searched the forum for the topic title keywords, to no avail.

TIA

Windows has an obscure tool not installed by default for this, called OH.EXE

More info & download at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techi...isting/oh-o.asp

May not be exactly what you need, but should at least be a starting point for you.

If you can figure out how to use ntdll.dll NtQuerySystemInformation, it can spit out a list of every file handle in use in the system.

I've been having no luck calling it, however. Trying to figure out what files are open by process, here. So, good luck!

Take a look at this...

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/handle.shtml

"handle -u" will give you the required information. However, you will

have to parse the file. The program was started on the secret laptop

of 007. Current User is: James

WINWORD.EXE pid: 2700 LAPTOP-007\James

13C: File C:\DOKUME~1\James\LOKALE~1\Temp\~DFD22A.tmp

264: File C:\DOKUME~1\James\LOKALE~1\Temp\~WRF0000.tmp

3EC: File C:\test.doc

many more lines deleted....

Hey, that handle is handy (pun totally intended). I wish I'd found this before. I installed OH.exe, but it tells me I need to restart before it will work, so bleh. I think I might just be able to use this handle utility though.
