I don't know about Windows, but on UNIX you can use lsof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lsof This page says that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_Explorer is the Windows equivalent. However, you should rethink your strategy. If you want well-behaving processes not to step on each others' toes you can use file locking for that.
