Process Explorer (from Sysinternals) will allow you to identify which process is maintaining an unnecessary handle on a file. You can then close the handle, even if the offending process is Explorer, without having to reboot Windows. That’s not entirely true.

That was kind of broken. What I meant to say was, <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Handle.mspx" rel="nofollow">Handle</a> and <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/PsKill.mspx" rel="nofollow">PsKill</a> FTW! Because sometimes I get that "If I didn't type it, it didn't happen" kind of mood :) *prays to HTML-comment gods* Oooh. That was kind of broken. What I meant to say was, Handle and PsKill FTW!

Yep, that's definitely much more featureful than the old WhoLockMe. And, of course, much more able to freak out some program if you break the locks and zap the file/dir/whatever. But, y'know, More Power is good! Oooh, niiiice :-). Yep, that’s definitely much more featureful than the old WhoLockMe.
