replacing a file currently locked by another process

I am trying to replace a program file that is currently locked by a process. I tried safe mode, but it did not help. Is there another way to accomplish that? Is there a TaskManager program that I can stop/start services?

Thanks

A full power off or a soft restart should release the file
I have issues

In addition to benot's suggestion, if the app is in the startup folder, delete the link first before a full power off or a soft reset.

If you need to end processes you can use memmaid or a freeware called PHM Task Manager.

move the file to a different, temporary, folder

copy the new file into the old location

soft reset.


this will work =)
