Politely ask that they drop off the file folder on your desktop after they are done with it.

This, to me is a big oversite in Windows and causes massive headaches for developers because you CANNOT force a file close from the kernel. The applicaitn HAS to close the file handle before that file can be deleted. This affects hardware, and plug and play, in a really unpleasant manner: The app does a CreateFILe() on some kernel object, COM99 say. The device supporting COM99 gets surprise removed but the app has the hanlde open. The driver thus gets locked in memory, but has no HW underneath it. On replugging, this can caiuse all kinds of **** ups. Especialy on multifunction devices. New driver instances, ndis failure, and so on. Microsoft silution is for apps to register for plug and play events. A two stage process, and fairly unpleasant for many applicatin coders to implemet, even if they knew about it in the first place. This, is a ****ing disaster. It wold be far better if the driver could notify the IO manager of a file close, allow the driver to unload, and the IO manager just return 'devide not present' or some such to the app. So Microsoft, get on with it! Oh, and if you didnt understand what I wrote, the answer is you cant.

Thank you anyway,yes I can't.Can you give me some sinppets on how to do?I deeply known that it's not good to do that.It's a "*.txt" file protected by others.When you delete it,the system warning "It is being used by another person or program."

He just said you can't. In fact, YOU just said you can't! So why are you asking for code of how to do it? And why are you asking in the Lounge?

If we do not use other tools.We write a code to do it.How to do?What's the principle?

1 - you can't 2 - you ignored a message saying 'no programming questions in the lounge' to ask this asinine question

OK, you MAY not do it to use very correct English. ie it is IMPOSSIBLE to delete a file when it is in use (AKA has a handle open on it). If you know that app that has the open handle you could send it a WM_CLOSE. (SendWindowsMessage(), FindWindow() etc.) But be carefull dong this,. you can really ppiss users off by userping the GUI from them.

Is this a question which I see before me, The subject toward coding? Come, let me answer thee. I care thee not, and yet I see thee cares. Art thou not, programming related, sensible To feeling out of place? or art thou but A troll of the forum, a false creation, Proceeding from the software-oppressed net?

Its not asinine. In what way is asking this quesiton, which is perfectly reasonable to ask, donkey like. Secondly, which prpgramming language forum should this quesiton go in when it isnt language related? As I have pointed out before, the failings of being language focused preclude this.

Vista/Windows 7 forum perhaps. But generally you have a point.

I want to tell him that the file protected by a "*.sys" driver,I just try to ask for some ideas. ;P Sorry!
I am not a genius, but shed more sweat!
No, its not protected by a sys file, a driver. In fact drivers have very little power of thier own,. They are totally uinder controll of the OS. In fact it is 'protected', locked is a better word, by the app/IO manager.
