Way off topic: NT question

[Nick Lewis]

There is a program inuse.exe which can be used to replace open files
(search MS's site and it's there somewhere - where though, I can't
remember). Also, NT 4.0 comes with IE2.0 installed by default (i'm
pretty sure, I haven't installed a plain nt install in a very long
time). If you need inuse.exe, e-mail me off list and i'll find it
(i've used it before, but I can't remember where I exactly found it).
Nick.
