See who is connected to my shared folders
How can I find out if there are users part of my workgroup that have files opened in my shared folder on my pc, so I can ask them to close these files before I shutdown my pc ?
With Windows 2000, I was using the "Network Monitor" tool that was in the Accessories (I guess that was the name). I can't find any equivalent in my Windows XP Pro.
I don't need a fancy tracking tool that, for example, shows all the files that are opened at the present time, by which process/user, etc. I tried a few of these and found the display too complicated to read through for what my users need. Just the username and the file being opened is plenty enough.
Thanks.

Huh? That's what I said in my comment:
Open computer managemment, go to the System Tools/Shared Folders section and select Open Files.
The graphic was a reference, not meant as a how-to
But, for that matter, you can also open a command prompt and type:
OPENFILES

Is it possible then to create a shortcut that would get you directly to these "Open Files" or "Sessions" windows under Computer Management/Shared Folder, so that I could put them on the desktop and would only need to double-clic on it to view the opened files/sessions ?

Thanks guys.
The solution sramesh2k brought was exactly what I was looking for. Since leew and craig200x led the way there, I'm giving each 125 points, and 250 for the final solution to sramesh2k.
(Sorry leew and craig200x, I didn't want to start a fight there, I was almost worried there when reading your posts lol :-)

I was just trying to point out not to follow the graphic... and then I realized what Leew had said.. after I posted of course.. and he was the one that was right... he should get the credit for it... I was trying to avoid a fight too ;) lol
