FileClose from all programs?

Is it possible to make another program stop accessing a file? Such as an exe accessing a dll, or an exe accessing another exe or process, ect?

Or cut all programs from accessing the file?

Sure...

$sPath = "C:\Temp\Test.txt"
FileDelete($sPath)
FileRecycleEmpty()

:P

If that's not what you meant, you'll have to be more specific. Have you set the file's permissions? You want to prevent even root processes from working with the file? Not deleting it means you want SOME programs to work with it... which ones, run by whom?

I assume you will need to use the help of some extra program like "unlocker".

Keep in mind that killing file locks can end up in unpredicteble results.
