[nflug] lsof equivalent in Windows?

[K Olkowski]

Folks:

Is there any DOS command that is equivalent to lsof, or is there some 
other way to do this in Windows?

Here's why I ask: someone at work attempted to unmount their thumb 
drive, and got a message similar to "generic volume cannot be unmounted 
at this time. . . ."  I looked at open processes and nothing seemed to 
be open that would have a file on the thumb drive open.  If it were my 
thumb drive, then I'd just yank it out anyway, but I tend to have more 
respect for others' things.  I resolved this by rebooting the machine. 
I figured that knowing which files on the thumb drive, if any, were open 
MAY give a clue as to which program or process has it open. 
Additionally, I know that there may be other reasons why Windows hijacks 
drives.
