In computer management I can view the open files for shared folders. Okay yeah. But, does anyone have any information on this in regards to what all the different "open modes" mean as well as the "# Locks"(For example, I have seen 25 locks on one file by one user)?
 

Mode indicates how the file is open (read, write, etc).

Programs often apply more than one lock to a file, e.g., a user's program can apply a lock to each row in a database file that with a specified range of values (e.g, city="San Francisco").
 
Good info. Thanks.

Still looking to know what the different modes actually mean.
