Much better File In Use dialog in Windows 7

less than 1 minute read

A very welcomed addition to the all-too-common File In Use dialog when trying to delete a file that a process has locked.

As you can see from the screenshot, the dialog in Windows 7 finally tells the user exactly which process is preventing the deletion. No longer do I need Process Monitor from SysInternals for such a simple need.
