well - I should have explained in more detail. I was asking for the cause of the lock files to appear ... in many years I have never seen these (well, prob. bec. they are created and removed in some msecs). And looking at the code I expected to find some processID written there, but the size was zero. Right now it turned out that some user admin has changed the %appdata% env var for the win roaming profile to point onto a file server. I guess this kind of locking (QLockFile being used by QSettings) doesn't go very well with a samba? share. Btw, the crash actually is a freeze ... the users called it a crash.
