About NetworkOpenedFiles
NetworkOpenedFiles lists the files on your computer that are currently opened by other computers on the network. For each file it shows the filename, user name, computer name, permissions, lock count, owner, size and attributes. You can close selected files, export the list to text, CSV, XML, HTML or JSON, or copy it into a spreadsheet.
With full administrator rights it can also read the list from a remote computer. Command-line options close files by wildcard and save reports. It runs on Windows XP through Windows 11, including Windows Server, in 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
