Closing open files in Windows 98
Hello,
I have a Windows 98 SE computer set up for shared drive access. Every once in a while an application running on another computer will misbehave and freeze. The file that was being shared on the Win98SE machine will still be seen as in use or open. Is there a utility or way to view all open files on this machine and be able to close the files without restarting the machine? Thanks Mike McWhinney |

Thanks Mike McWhinney Try Alt+Ctrl+Del then choose Explorer and click End Task. Now wait a few seconds for Explorer to reopen. I quit using Explorer a long time ago. Now I use a freeware app, 2Explorer from http://www.netez.com/2xExplorer pcbuilder98 |
