Identify Shared Folder User

Is there a command or add-on that will enable me to
identify and trace a user who is connected to a shared
folder? The example is from a client of mine:

They have shared a folder over the network from a
Win98 workstation and then decide to un-share it due to
someone abusing the folder. When they go to disconnect
the share, they are informed that there are still users
connected to the share and that this will break their
connection. We want to find out who this mystery user is
since they still recieve this message even when all
other PC's in the office are turned off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.
