[DUG] How to replace a file currently in use (Windows)

[Kyley Harris]

I have to say that I'm lazy and rename an inuse file and then create the
file that has the name I want. Then I clean up the _old.??? later down the
track after a reboot etc. That way (for exes) the new file is available to
anyone without a reboot..

I'd like to know of the feature too if anyone has seen it, for curiosity
sake.
