Viewing or Closing Resources In Use

You can view the list of resources that are open on a computer, close a single resource, or close all resources. When you close a resource, you disconnect the users who are connected.

Use the Open Resources dialog box to view and close resources (view the properties for the computer, and click on In Use).
