In an attempt to find a quickie utility to force open files to close under Windows I stumbled upon TaskManagerEx that extends the Windows Task Manager with such yummy features as:

Use different color for services

Find a used file by any process. (Use * as file name for showing every used file)

Find a used module by any process

Use different color for processes if the CPU usage reaches a given limit ( 25%, 50%, 75% )

Query list of every files, handles, modules, windows used by a given process

Close a used file (you can unlock an exclusively opened file, so you can delete it)

Unload a used module (so you can delete it)

You can kill services too

Fast end process. Press DEL key!

Needless to say, this baby goes in Startup and C:/UTILS!
