Man-wai, At the start of my executable, I use the API CreateFile, CloseHandle and GetLastError to determine if a file in the directory has proper rights. When the file is already open, I get an error 32, which means we have rights, just not able to open the file for edit. When the error is 5, permission is denied due to rights. This could be Network share, or NTFS rights.
