Hi

(Not sure this is the all proper group, but i have not found any windows
developer general one...)
Is there any way how to unlock running executable, so it can be
rewritten/deleted on disk - or more important on network drive? Something in
a way to tell windows to copy the executable into memory/swapfile and
release all locks on executable file - done from inside executable that is,
not from outside.
Thanks

Pete
