    hello, i googled for it and found a tutorial with the procexp.exe .. but i dont have this file on my win7 prof :eek:

    is there another way to find out which program uses a file?

    My problem:
    i once ran a iso from a .rar archive and it automatically mounted it with daemontools. Now i have the 6gb .iso in the /temp/rar/ folder and cannot delete it as it is in use. But it isnt (no daemon tools started , also i ejected the .iso frm the virtual-rom

    thanks


    @edit: okay fixed it :p

    solution:
    if you eject the .iso at computer - right click vrom - eject then its still in daemon tools. had to eject it from daemon tools too.

    Yea had that too, but its kinda easy to figure out :p

    Worst case scenario use programs like unlocker to see which program uses the file and close it.
