LockCheck

Uses Windows Restart Manager APIs to find processes locking one or multiple files.

The code is CodeAnalysis clean (using Microsoft recommended rules) and has been tested on Windows 7 and Windows 10 (both x64). It is actually meant to be included in a library or such, but for quick tests a "Main" method is provied.

Example:

• Open/create a file "C:\temp\foo.xlsx" in Microsoft Excel - you can use any other application that actually locks a file, of course.

• Run the following command:

   LockCheck.exe c:\temp\foo.xlsx
  

• The ouput should be like
