Cool, thanks. But we should better test this first before you send this upstream. I'm not entirely sure if my explanation is correct. I tried various different ways to delete the file but none worked. Every method, even just using delete-on-close, returns the *very* *helpful* STATUS_CANNOT_DELETE message. The open file mapping looks like the only possible explanation but I couldn't find any documentation which supports my theory, now that I'm searching for it...
