Also, from MS DOS you can type tasklist and this will show all running process and pids. Make sure to do this from the server. To end a process type tskill followed by the pid number.
Have you tried UnLocker?
Hi:
Sometimes an app will apply a HOOK to a file and won't let it go for a day. You can go into the server or box where the original file resides and delete it if you have the permissions for that activity. You do that through a DOS COMMAND shell.
Or you can acquire a small app called UnLocker and it will clear the Locks/Hooks for you.
Unlocker 1.8.9 - It's a free file.
Best of luck!
