Re: Can a file be blocked for anyone at network level?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

AFAIK it will be suffucient to call CreateFile ( ... FILE_SHARE_READ .... )
parameter, so that file will be shared only for reading... Network
redirector will do the rest of the job.
However, do not forget that "client" has to have sufficient permissions to
open file in that mode ( in NTFS )...
