Any program out there that will tell you what process is using a particular file?

Is there a specific reason? Maybe there is a better work around if you are having a problem.

I may be wrong, but I think there is actually a dos command to see what .exe is using a certain file.

Sysinternals has one or two that should meet your needs.

I was going to recommend FILEMON from sysinternals. I believe that is the one AGNAT is refering to.

handle.exe from SysInternals will tell you each process and the files it has opened.

These tools look pretty great. I'm definately going to have to try symbolic links and see if I can't simplify some netbios shares
