Dear Developer team,


   After a deep search, i reached to a possible (possible) and definitive 
solution to disable the "lock" file creation.

   The "lock" file is created when you open any document on OpenOffice, 
however, i always found in the results that it is not a critical function
   and i had proved it when i opened a file, deleted the lock file, and has no 
able to open it from other computer on workgroup while its remain
   open on original computer (System Win XP 32-bits).

   The solution found inform that i only need enter on directory 
"...aoo-3.4.0/main/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/" and, inside
   the file "Common.xcu", is a parameter "UseDocumentOOoLockFile", of Boolean 
type, that i only need change the value to disable the locking file
   creation.

   I tried to apply this solution, but on the "Common.xcu" file do not exist 
such parameter, i believe that it had existed on previous versions,
   but is not present on AOO 3.4. I kindly ask you to answer two question:

      1. Can i disable the lock file creation?

      2. If i can, are there a easy manner to me to compile the all stuff and 
create a installation package?

   I really know that i want so pretty much (may be a "Hello World" tutorial is 
more adequate for me ;) ), but my organization have problems
   every day with documents that has been lock and no more remain in use.

   OBS.: Simply delete the "lock" file is a easy and fast solution, however, 
the final users must be oriented every time about how to do it.


My best regards,

Emanuel de Almeida
