Re: Applications, windows, and dos prompts that are using a particular directory (windows)

Try the free, ready-made FileMon program from the smart folks at SysInternals.

"FileMon monitors and displays file system activity on a system in real-time. Its advanced capabilities make it a powerful tool for exploring the way Windows works, seeing how applications use the files and DLLs, or tracking down problems in system or application file configurations."

Thanks for the reply. I need to be able to script when they are closed. From what I see, this is a windows app that is not scriptable. http://www.basgetti.com http://www.kidlins.com	[reply]

There is a MS command-line tool called "OpenFile" that may be useful in this - I have not tried it, but you can find documentation at MS Technet. "Man cannot live by bread alone... He'd better have some goat cheese and wine to go with it!"	[reply]
