We’ve all had it happen before. We go to delete some file and it cant be deleted because its currently in use. That’s easy enough to fix. All you have to do is fire up some sort of process manager like Process Explorer and kill the process, right?
Well, often the file that’s said to be currently in use isn’t a running .EXE in file so it cant be killed by a process manager. It might be a .DAT, .DLL or a .TMP file and its hard to tell whats running it.
This is where OpenedFilesView comes in. Its a freeware, portable application that shows you all the currently open files and what process opened them. The application also allows you to kill any of the currently open files listed so you can delete or move it.
This is definitely a handy tool to have when removing viruses that are running .DLL’s’s that are difficult to delete.
