Hi all,

I'm reading an external harddisk directly with:


   DeviceString = "\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE"+IntToStr( HardDisk );
   hDevice = CreateFile( DeviceString.c_str(),
                         GENERIC_READ,
                         FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
                         NULL,
                         OPEN_EXISTING,
                         0,
                         0);

..... (SetFilePointer/ReadFile)

   CloseHandle(hDevice);

This increases count of win32 handles every time
  Createfile creates two handles
  CloseHandle closes only one of theses handles

(You can monitor this behaviour with processexplorer.)

Any hints?

Thanks, Christian
