filemon only shows file reads and writes in realtime... a file can be locked, but still not show up in filemon

Download Process Explorer http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml
Start the program, click on a process. In the menu: View - DLLs   (shows other files as well)
Then, just do a search...
