Re: Locked .exe

This is generally what happens when one doesn't exit a program
correctly. It is that the OS still has the .EXE file marked
as still open and active. On NT and 2K you can look at the task
manager and see that the application is still running.

Look at the shipped examples and other postings previously made here
to see how to do it properly.
