Colm,
        Something just occured to me. In windows, if you try to move or
delete a file that is in use, it stops you. Is there a completely bonine
action one can do to a file in windows that causes the same error?

        I'm thinking that without admin powers, this code may still be able
to detect if a file is in use at all.

        Thanks,
                Tyler
