ECHO WhoLocked.bat, Version 1.00
ECHO Check which program keeps a file or folder locked and optionaly unlock it
ECHO.
ECHO Usage: ←[0;1mWhoLocked.bat file_or_folder←[0m
ECHO.
ECHO Where: ←[0;1mfile_or_folder←[0m is the file or folder being locked
ECHO.
ECHO Notes: This batch file uses Mark Russinovich's HANDLE.EXE, available at
ECHO ←[0;1;30mhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/handle←[0m
ECHO to check which program keeps the file or folder open.
ECHO Though this could also be achieved with Windows' native
ECHO OPENFILES.EXE, HANDLE.EXE does not require elevated privileges
ECHO whereas OPENFILES.EXE does.
ECHO This batch file uses Windows' native TASKKILL.EXE to terminate
ECHO the blocking program. This could also be achieved with HANDLE.EXE,
ECHO but that would require elevated privileges, whereas TASKKILL.EXE
ECHO does not.
ECHO The batch file gives you a choice to close the locking program
ECHO gracefully, or to kill it by force, or to ignore it and do nothing.
ECHO In case multiple programs keep the file or folder locked, only the
ECHO ←[0;1mlast one found←[0m is displayed, so you may have to run this batch file
ECHO multiple times.
