[REQ] WinVista: File locked -> Show which App locks the f

Post by *CoolWater »

Since Windows Vista introduces a new Interface (IFileIsInUse), it would be a nice feature to get additional information for a locked file.

Nice interface, thanks for the hint! I'm missing some kind of overview page with all these news functions and interfaces...

Unfortunately it's Vista-only, so it's currently only interesting for a minority of users. :(
