Thanks connectex &amp;&nbsp;iSiek for your quick response. &nbsp;I could locate the user that locked the file with &quot;Sharing and Storage Management&quot;. &nbsp;But running openfiles.exe requires administrator account, which I don't process. &nbsp;But good to know that there is this command. &nbsp;thank you!

Hi experts,<br />
<br />
<br />
Is there anyway to find out which user has a specific file locked on a shared folder? &nbsp;After locating the user, can an administrator free the locked file? &nbsp;(eg. microsoft word, excel...etc)<br />
<br />
thanks very much.<br />
