How to check if file is open on Windows XP?

[Dudeja, Rajat]

Hi,

I'm looking for a fascility that can check if the file is open on Windows XP and if the file is open (say a notepad file is open), I want to close that file (i.e the notepad application)

I found that there are no such methods available in OS modules. Is using Win32 API is the only solution?

Pleae suggest.

Thanks,
Rajat
