Hello All, I'm trying to delete a file and got a message saying the file is in use. How can I tell who is using the file or what process is using the file. I'm running Windows 2003 server. Thanks for the help

Right Click My Computer, go to manage. Click Shared Folders and then you can see Sessions and Open Files.

This tool may also be useful. Process Monitor v2.9 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional -Microsoft MVP [Windows]

Hello All, I'm trying to delete a file and got a message saying the file is in use. You can use process exploer along with dave suggestion or Handle utility to chekc open file sessions. But you need to wait for the file operations to finish to delete the file ( eg: if user is copying data to the shared file then you cannot delete the file which is in use )

Hi, You can also navigate to Computer Management > Share Folders > Open files. For more information, please refer to the following screen shot. Best Regards, Vincent Hu
