Wrong. Windows *itself* doesn't care - lots of applications just don't specify FILE_SHARE_WRITE: "An application also uses CreateFile to specify whether it wants to share the file for reading, writing, both, or neither. This is known as the sharing mode. An open file that is not shared (dwShareMode set to zero) cannot be opened again, either by the application that opened it or by another application, until its handle has been closed. This is also referred to as exclusive access." from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363874%28VS.85%29.aspx -- Bruce Cran
