In the case of a profile that's locked open, you can gracefully unload the profile yourself. Find out the user's SID using USER2SID.EXE. Then run regedit, find that hive under HKEY_USERS, and go to File, Unload Hive.

Can someone point me in the direction for the tool to be able to unlock in file in use "that does not show up as being open from SRVMGR or other methods". I need to delete a profile that states it is in use but the user processes are terminated "ntuser.dat". I used a utility in the past that gave me the ability to delete any file that was in use but I just can't find it. Thanks, Chris -----Original Message-----
