I have a huge issue but I'm going to break it down into some thing simple. When I file(folder in this case) is open and you get a "the action can't be completed because the file is open in" message, is that locking? what type of locking is it an how does it work, a flag, a file that keeps track?

More info: if I do

net file

it produces

ID           Path                            User name           # Locks
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
74         c:\Test\1\2\3\4                 Administrator             0

The # Locks set to 0 is a little confusing.
