MattNis Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 How can I determine the user that has currently locked the use of a file? I am unable to open something because another user is currently using a file. thanks [quote]I was busy waiting all night for the Columbus Day Bunny to come down my chimney and light fireworks in my pumpkin.There's so much wrong with that.Oh, I'm sorry, i forgot you were Jewish.[/quote]
Helge Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 I know I've used a program that comes with Windows XP (Pro), where you can control your shared directiories...you can also see what user/computer who is browsing and using your files... But, I can't remember the name of the application..
emmanuel Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 I know that someone here [at work] once figured out how to do that with VBScript, but I don't know how he did it... something to think on. "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks)
Batch Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 Right click on My Computer, go to manage. Right click on your computer name and put in the name of the server hosting the file. Go down to shares, and you can see what is currently in use.
scriptkitty Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) there is a Commandline tool to do it in pstools, PsFile I think. I will test it for shares on other computers. free and easy to work into autoit. Edited May 12, 2004 by scriptkitty AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers.
Josbe Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) NET FILE too, from DOS. (more or less, useful)But locked.... Edited May 12, 2004 by josbe AUTOIT > AutoIt docs / Beta folder - AutoIt latest beta
