File sharing question

Have two systems networked. Went to shutdown system A and
it returns the message that there is -1- user/computer connected,
which is normal. Clicked on "yes" to shutdown and up pops a
second message; "There are -7- file(s) opened by users connected
to your computer." Have never had this happen before.

Is there any way to find out which files are opened ???

thanks

Use Net Watcher. To install it, go to Control Panel | Add/Remove
Programs | Windows Setup | System Tools. To run it, either click
Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Net Watcher or click
Start | Run, type "netwatch" in the box, and click OK.

Steve....

Thanks !!.....that told me what I needed to know.

Now, a semi-off topic question: The -7- files that were
open was the result of opening Adobe Acrobat Reader, which
was on system A, while working on system B. After reading
the PDF, I closed it out thinking that would kill Reader on
system B. Apparently that does not happen. I re-created the
situation and proved to myself that was the case. Even did
a C-A-D and while it listed the Reader as an active process,
clicking on it and then clicking on "End Task" still did not
remove the -7- files showing on system A under NetWatcher
(even did a refresh on NetWasher).

I then installed a program named Process Explorer from
www.sysinternals.com which shows all open processes and
supposedly allows one to kill/close open programs (same as
doing a C-A-D) . That didn't work either.

So my question is: is there a program which you are
familiar with which one can use to close/kill programs with
certainty ??

thanks
ray
