you could do a
NET FILE
shell command and capture the output.
there will be lines like this
41 Z:\audio\...od Morning Good Morning.mp3 administrator 0
for each file - the leftmost number is the file ID and you
can get details on each of them by doing another NET FILE command
NET FILE 41
which will give you stuff that looks like:
D:\>net file 41
File ID 41
User name administrator
Locks 0
Path Z:\audio\Beatles\(11) Good Morning Good Morning.mp3
Permissions R
The command completed successfully.
Very klunky I know, sorry.
And - it has one serious problem that I think makes it useless
in the situation you described - it only works on the local
server. If you need this information on a remote server
you need to get it executed over there somehow.
The really irritating thing in all of this is that the old NT 3.5
file manager "winfile" let you read this stuff right off a
right-click properties dialog. Not only did MS remove it
from the NT4 and later but they've hidden the API that does it.
arrgh.
