Use the Process Explorer from sysinternals.com , by Mark Russinovich
(Now part of Microsoft.)
In the lower pane you can see a list of handles that each process has
open. Use the search for Handles or DLLs feature, where you can find
which process has a certain file open (and if you search for "c:" for
example, you'll get a list of all open files on c: ).
You need to run as administrator, otherwise you only will see your own processes.
