This is probably old news for many of you but today I had great use of the Process Explorer tool.
With it you can get detailed information of all the processes running on the computer and the DLL's they are using. Also you can go the other way around; from a DLL find all processes that is using it.
We used it today to solve the age-old problem; "The file cannot be deleted because it being used by another process" - WHICH PROCESS?!!
Now you can solve that problem.
Oh yes - that's right; thank you Fredrik for this great tip!

This is kind of useful as well when it comes to locked files:

It's basically checking who is locking that particular file and is implemented as an Explorer extension.
Hey - coolers!
If we combine them we can create the tool "Kill the guy who is locking me! Fast and without mercy!"
From the design of the http://www.dr-hoiby.com/WhoLockMe/ we can also conclude that this guy is an hardcore-code-guy and not an designer.
Thanks for the tip, Micke.
