I haven't checked the underlying code and haven't tried it completely but I created a short extension that set the 2 properties to false. org - openoffice -Office - Common - Misc - UseDocumentSystemFileLocking = false org - openoffice -Office - Common - Misc - UseDocumentOOoLockFile = false You can find the extension here http://people.apache.org/~jsc/extensions/DisableFileLockingTest.oxt You can try if it disable the file locking. But you should be aware that disabling file locking can damage your documents. You can also play with the extension and tweak the values as you want. If it is what you are looking for, feel free to adapt the description and the other meta data to make it usable for your needs and a broader deployment in your environment. Let me know if it works.
