So, Ed, if I can still write to the parent.lock file (if I wanted to,
'cause it's not set to "Read Only")), how does it lock anything??
You CANNOT write to a Windows "locked" file. The file attribute has
nothing to do with the Windows' lock function.
With SeaMonkey running I used my text editor (EditPad Pro) to try to
open parent.lock. Here's the message I got:

As I explained in another reply in this thread, try the same with Word.
Open a file in Word. Try to open the file in Excel. You'll get a
similar message that the file is in use:
