Identify process PID in Windows by resource lock

[WebSurfinMurf]

The scripts I manage deletes directory trees and recreates with new content nightly.

I am consistantly running into problems where a rogue program or process is holding a file or directory locked. Under UNIX this is not a problem, since files/directories can be deleted even if in use.

Under Windows this is becoming a problem.

How can I identify by "resource lock" what PID is associated with the lock?

Example:
What process PID(s) is the file c:\dir\temp.txt being used?

I don't even think that MS bundles that kind of utility
in userspace much less that tcl has a hook that deep in the win32 system. The closest I can find is tlist and that's not close.

If you find out something let us know.
In the meantime you could try comp.lang.tcl.

Good Luck.
