Close all open network files in a directoryThere are certain cases when you need to close all open files in a given shared directory. Most people go into Computer Management under Shared Folders -> Open Files and close each file one at a time. This is OK for a small number of files, but when there are hundreds of files open, this is not practical. SysInternals has created a utility called psfile.exe which is part of their PSTools package. Using this utility, you can match files using wildcards and close all of them. Example: This command will close all open network files which match the expression D:\SomeShare\MyFolder\*.
