To me the easiest solution seems to be using Process Explorer or Handle from Sysinternals (at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals currently). At first sight your Python solution looks good to me; I don't know why it doesn't work. Another approach I have used in the past is trying to rename the directory instead of trying to open a file in that directory: Windows cannot rename the directory when some program has a file open in that directory. At least that's my experience. -- If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Roel Schroeven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
