List owner processes of open file handles in Windows?

Question

I'm currently getting an "out of handles" error in my Event Viewer for a program.

What would be a good program to list what processes are using file handles?

An example would be 'lsof' in the *nix world.

Answer 1

Use processexplorer

From the introduction:

The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened

The handle mode is the one you're interested in.

For Chrome on my box I see for example:

You can also search for a handle by name.
