this may be a stupid question but can someone tell me how force release a locked file(s) manually in windows 2000 and 2003 without rebooting the server??

Cheers

well what kind of lock are we talking about? what do you do to tell you it is locked?
well could be any file/document that users use - eg: user tries to open outlook and their PST file is on the server, outlook spits out a message that says "Access denied, file being used" . I check the files being used in the Open Files folder under Computer Management and its not there. If I reboot the server it fixes the problem.

Am I missing something? Am I looking in the wrong place?

thanks mate.
