OK, but most of the time I cannot shut down all applications because one application is monitering a task which I am running on the server. If I kill the monitering application then I have to redo the task all again. The task can take 2 days on the server before it is finished. I do some java development in the mean time. However now I am running into the directory locking problem. > Why? Who knows! Which servicepack on windows 2000 are you running? > Ask Bill! Yes, Bill what was it again? Trustworthy computing?.
