F.A.Q
 
Title: Does it work on Vista? [2008-03-25]
Does it work on Vista?
I don't know. I'll try as soon as possible.[2008-03-26]
 
Title: Option for "Close File Handle" instead of Kill Entire Process, [2008-03-27]
Is this possible for inclusion on future release? sysinternals has excellent application called "Process Explorer" which has "close handle" feature, however it is more time consuming to use that one, I prefer the excellent and simple interface of WhoLockMe. :) What do you think?
It's a big question. I hesitated a long time to do that. My conclusion is : kill a program is safe, but close an handle of a running program isn't and you can't predict the aftermath.[2008-03-29]
 
Title: Great Interface / Analysis algorithm to improve [2008-04-03]
Your program ist much more comfortable and gives more details than the before used mst's IsUseBy. Just Great!

But when I register a dll (for example) which it's not deleteable then and I'm use IsUsedBy - it can analyse that it's locked by the explorer.exe

WhoIsLock shows nothing / doesn't react (that's one point aswell; there should be a message if ther is no blocking process found or if WhoLockMe already runs one time at that moment)...

So keep on with your good work 8)

Title: Interface great / Analysis algorithm to develop [2008-04-03]
Your program has a really great interface and gives a lot of information. So I like it much more than the before used program mstIsUsedBy. But It looks like that the analysis algorithm of yours is less good, yet. Because when I register a dll (like CommentExt.dll) then IsUsedBy tells me that the explorer.exe is using it. WhoLockMe shows nothing (that's also one point; it should show a message if the file/folder is not in use or if WhoLockMe is already running).

So continue your good work! ;)

Cool tool! I noticed a typo on http://www.dr-hoiby.com/WhoLockMe/: please replace "permeets" with "permits" in the following text:
"It permeets you to list all the process locking your selected file."
thanks :)[2008-04-22]
 
Title: Vista? [2008-04-11]
This is a great tool. Thanks for it. I was wondering though if you have any future plans for Vista support?

Regards,
Robert
one day, i'll be forced to install Vista on my computer :(
On this sad day, I'll make a vista version.
Sincerly sorry about that.

Title: Does not work on Vista 64-bit yet. [2008-04-16]
I have installed it on Windows Vista 64-bit and it does not work. It would be nice though. :-)

Title: Can't download [2008-04-17]
I can download the file because my company blocks the extensions (.bat).

Is it possible to obtain in in an other way / extension?
The content of Install.bat is "regsvr32 /s WhoLockMe.dll"
The content of Uninstall.bat is "regsvr32 /s /u WhoLockMe.dll"
I zipped a file without bat files : http://www.dr-hoiby.com/WhoLockMe/WhoLockMe104_nobat.zip.
