The SysInternals website has a great free utility called Process Explorer: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html It will show you all open handles for any process, and even let you close any of the handles. (Not always the best thing to do, depending on what the process is doing with the handle.) Process Explorer has lots of other useful features. When doing development on Windows, I find it an invaluable tool. Wayne Vucenic No Bugs Software Ruby and C++ Agile Contract Programming in Silicon Valley
