Is there a folders or files setting within Windows 7 that will show me files that are open/in use by other users on the server?
Example is that with my previous installation of XP, if I went in to Excel or Word and wanted to open a file, there would be ghost image of the filename with a ~$ in front of the filename.
On XP you would be able to see this by enabling the "show hidden files and folders" option under folder options, under Windows 7 it does not do the same thing....
