   Yes, I could.   
      
   But all of those try to circumvent the problem itself (which will still rear   
   its ugly head in other circumstances where the origional files contents   
   change) as well as having their own side effects.   
      
   I think that taskkill (which I mentioned in my initial post) is one of the   
   few "solutions" (hacks) which seems to have no side effects - even though   
   its usage seems to be limited to where a script launches the changed   
   document.
