Sometimes even with Windows, the command line can be your best friend. One of the utilities that can be useful is openfiles.exe. The file can be used on your network to see who has a shared file open. Simply type “openfiles” at the command prompt and hit Enter. You can also use the utility to disconnect any network user who is viewing the files. To find out how, type “openfiles /disconnect /?” at the command prompt.
