PsFile is a great tool for closing network files that have been held open for some reason on another machine. This happens a lot with Office files, often because the user just left the file open and then left for the day. It is kind of a pain to have to use the command line to do this, and I have been unable to find a GUI for it. There are plenty of GUIs for deleting locked files (FileASSASSIN, LockHunter, etc.), but that is not what I am looking for; I just want to release the file for writing, basically.
Ideally, I would like to be able to right-click the file in Windows Explorer and select Release, and viola! the file is released.
You could always create a context menu item to run a program or whatever you specify. To add a context item to right clicking head here:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
Then add a new key which will be what's see in the context menu, then a new entry calledcommand
then edit the default key forcommand
and include the full path to your program. – Insane – 2015-09-23T02:42:26.140
