Hello,

We have an XP Pro pc that shares files to another via a network share.
When the user shuts down the first pc (the one sharing the files) she gets
no warning that the share is in use.

Is there some setting or method of having the user warned that the share is
in use and then being able to abort the shutdown??

thankyou in advance for any assistance..

regards,

David

NET SESSIONS

or

NET FILES

at a commandprompt will tell you if users are connected or files are open.

Might be of help, for example a batch file containing :

net sessions >files.txt
net files >>files.txt
notepad files.txt

will display a list of the connected users and open files.
