File being used by another process

Subject:File being used by another process

In my application, it happend that I have to access a file in exclusive mode
while it is being accessed by another application.
I have two requets:

1) I would like to display the other application's name so that the user is
able to close it.

2) The file may also be from another workstation thru a network share and I
would like to display that workstation name. I can see it using windows
management tool, displaying Shared Folders/Open Files and I would like to
grab the same information from my own program.

Any piece of code or advice is welcome (Must run on W2K and above).
