I've never ever worked anywhere where there has not been someone who given the choice I would not work with again. It's a job, you do your work, put up with the people you don't like, accept there are probably people there that don't like you a lot, and look forward to the weekends. - Josh Gray.

Obviously, he thought it could. I had no idea it could.

PE *can* do that. Just search for the file that is locked and it will display all the processes that are holding it.

It can. PE can lookup all of the handles in use and find if a handle is actually referring to something that you asked it to search for (the name of the locked file).

OK, nevermind, I guess I mistake PE with something else.

The old process explorer would show what applications are connecting to the internet, is that still possible in the latest version or no?
