WinXP (sp2) does not release connections, session or file, until the
current user logs off. Is there any registry setting for XP that
convinces it to actually release connections when a file closes?
Wasn't this fixed in a service pack at one point?
I've kept my one XP machine well up to date (although not on very
often). When I *have used it, it's taken out the server within a few
days. Only stopped when I replaced it with a low power (in all senses)
FreeBSD server. I never share stuff to XP on the other OS/2 machines so
it's not been an issue.
I think this is the reference I was looking for:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323582

Unfortunately, it continued to happen even after installing the service
pack...!

I'd have sworn I had seen posts that people that had set the registry
entry referenced had said the entry worked for them.

Oh, it reduced the problem. But it still failed eventually. If I had an
intensive session or three on the XP machine, the server eventually
failed.
