Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way (using the Windows SDK) to know
exactly which application is holding on to a communications port (if my
application fails to take hold of it).

We encountered situations where some programs like Palm's HotSync is holding 
on to the com port. This is easy to troubleshoot if we know that the user's 
PC is installed with this program.

In other situations, we do not know what program is holding on to the port.

Thanks and regards,
Tze Wan
