dll Locking Detector?
-
I was wondering if there were code samples out there that helped detect what process is locking a file. Example: you try to delete a file and it won't let you, it says another process is using this dll. You search through your Services and Task manager, and can't seem to find what process is using that dll. You reboot, and still no luck. (I came across this with an Oracle dll, and as it turned out some registry key was looking for that dll and kept loading it, but *what* process was loading it is still a mystery.) Any thoughts? Thanks Sue
